The lyrics are to a song in which a dreamer imagines a conversation with Archangel Gabriel about the first Christmas.

It is available below for non-commercial entertainment use to the viewer.
Anyone who has any question about this as a song and not just poetry form; or any other questions, please feel free to pm/start a conversation with me.

Merry Christmas to all; anyone observing any other holiday, appropriate holiday greetings and wishes to you as well

As they said in my generation, peace and love....

I wonder, I wonder
Dreamed a thought that imagined and came from afar
(a)bout Jesus and Christmas and Bethlehem’s star

I say, I said
Who can tell me, what does it mean?
on redeeming mankind, God would be so keen

Then
I heard, I heard
Arc(h)angel Gabriel’s voice came alive
take heed what he said, this is no jive
He said

Yes there was a star, one never had been so such raised
til on that first Christmas, God’s name be thus praised.
It was pretty much like any other star, really...

Oh but from
high in God’s heaven
high in God’s heaven
high in God’s heaven
high in God’s heaven
oh so high in God’s heaven, earth saw this bright ray
Jesus was now born this first Christmas Day

I say, I said
wow, what a picture this puts in my mind
How serve I the Lord, Who to us is so kind?
And in reply, he said, “Remember”
And now, as always

Millennia later, it’s still Christmas Day, all of creation it pauses from play
Arc(h)angels and choir they lead us and pray
sing behold,
sing behold
sing behold now the Christ child
born with us this day

Then yes, I awoke Good Gabe he was gone
And so, and so
In closing I have just one thing to say
Remember this story
Remember this story
every Christmas Day

While I want to thank everyone for all the peace and love and like comments, regardless of what faith or denomination, if any, you choose to follow, I want to thank BBKers particularly for his acclaim above.

Everyone likes to take an acknowledgment of credit, and as a wordsmithI am not an exception there. Lyricists especially appreciate kudos from a talented musician, which BBKers in the past has shared with us is one of his many gifts.

BBKers, still dealing with the 13 steps forward, 11 steps backward thing. When the ship comes in, if you are still doing that hotel thing in Iceland, I will give you heads up to coordinate schedule, and I am there.

Til then, with best for all that is between and beyond.
