As the Angels Sing

There's a story that the people used to tell
About the little boy Jesus, Emmanuel
And the feeling in the air this time of year
It was the magic of Christmas you couldn't help but feel

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

Now the stores are decorated in the fall
And the spirit of the dollar welcomes one, welcomes all
By the time they close their doors on Christmas day
All the shopping malls declare another fine profit made

And the church bells chime at Christmastime
Inviting us inside, inviting us inside
And the registers ring as the angels sing
But their voices are denied, their voices are denied

Within these four walls it's still the same
Christmas holds it's magic in something more than a name
And the thing we should all remember well
Is the story of Jesus, Emmanuel
