It's Christmas Eve The snow weighs heavy on my leaves The air is still The church bells ringing on the hill My branches bowed I wasn't chosen this time round The bigger trees All went away instead of me But never fear I'll wait another year And I'll grow, and I'll breathe And I'll drink from my roots up to my leaves And I'll stretch to the sun And I'll shoot like a bullet from a gun And I'll grow even more I'll be better than before But now I'll watch the snow sink to the floor And come the day I won't stand round and pine away I'll get spruced up I'll keep those sappy fears at bay A year is long And time to turn from weak to strong Through wind and rain Through needle pain, I'll soldier on And then you'll see I'll be a different tree Chorus x2

Walk with me among the Christmas trees Take some time to see the green abound Needles coat the ground beneath our feet Make a carpet neat and silent, sound We walk and we wonder At the wonders that we see We can feel the calm and unknowing Ever-growing majesty Of a Christmas tree Norway spruce, Norway Spruce ‘Mong the first put to use To bring hope of the spring in the green of its shoots From the wild, brought inside With the first Christmas lights In the form of a tallowy candle And the source of its fame Is its regal acclaim: It was brought to this isle in Victoria’s reign And we scarce would have seen Such a thing as a tree In our home, were it not for Prince Albert CHORUS Noble fir, noble fir From the far-flung New World It is strong and lives long With its spines blue-green curled And it came to the fore In the second World War With its wood in the fighter plane wings From the Caspian Sea Comes the Nordmann fir tree Baba Yaga ran past it In her house with bird’s feet From the dense, dark exile From the wolves and the wild To the warmth and the carols we sing CHORUS
