Garth Brooks - Belleau Wood Lyrics

Complimentary "Belleau Wood" Ringtone

Oh the snowflakes fell in silence 
Over Belleau Wood that night, 
For a Christmas truce had been declared 
By both sides of the fight. 

As we lay there in our trenches 
The silence broke in two, 
By a German soldier singing 
A song that we all knew. 

Though I did know the language, 
The song was Silent Night. 
Then I heard my buddy whisper, 
All is calm, all is bright. 
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me, 
'Cause I'd die if i was wrong 
But I stood up in my trench, 
And I began to sing along. 

Then across the frozen battlefield, 
Anothers voice joined in, 
Until one by one each man became 
A singer of the hymn. 

Then I thought that I was dreaming 
For right there in my sight, 
Stood the German soldier 
Neath the fallen flakes of white. 
The he raised his hand and smiled at me 
As if he seemed to say 
Heres hoping we both live 
To see us find a better way 

Then the devils clock struck midnight 
And the skys lit up again, 
And the battlefield where heaven stood 
Was blown to hell again 

But for just one fleeting moment 
The answer seemed so clear 
Heavens not beyond the clouds 
Its just beyond the fear 

No heavens not beyond the clouds 
Its for us to find here
