VERSE As opposing sides approached through broken words they spoke It wasn't long before they felt at ease They shared their cigarettes, what they had they used as gifts They didn't feel like enemies With candles lit they stood shoulder to shoulder And on that field they found true common ground And as they prayed they dreamed the war was over CHORUS If it could happen then, it could happen again A world torn apart could join hands and hearts To celebrate his birth and peace on this Earth If for one magic night we could find again a reason not to fight Maybe there's a chance; This time it might last. G D Em C If it could happen then, it could happen again.
