Lyrics
There's a war inside tonight
Raging on amidst the carols and peaceful candlelight
There's a future that I fear
Holds a lifetime full of midnights
That are anything but clear
There's a hole here in my chest
It takes the shape of disillusion,
And promises unkept
Then I turn on my TV,
And it's all despair and tragedy
Where Rudolph used to be
An it brings me to my knees
God please open my eyes to see
That ah, theres good news tonight
And hope shine through the darkness
Like the brightest Christmas lights
And ah, there's good news tonight,
There's a future and a hope,
Wrapped in swaddling clothes
Come to make the broken whole,
and wrong things right
Ah, there's good news tonight
Falling snow and fires gleam
Bring back so many memories
Of childhood Christmas Eves
When I'd watch for Santas sleigh
And dream of all the good things
I'd find on Christmas Day
But tonight that kid feels far away
And what I'll find tomorrow is a little hard to say
But ah, there's good news tonight
ah, theres good news tonight
And hope shine through the darkness
Like the brightest Christmas lights
And ah, there's good news tonight,
There's a future and a hope,
Wrapped in swaddling clothes
Come to make the broken whole,
and wrong things right
Ah, there's good news tonight
And it's more than Christmas cards and manger scenes
So much more than all the pretty gifts
Beneath my christmas tree
Because the greatest love story
the world has ever heard
Began 2,000 years ago
With "God so loved the world"
ah, theres good news tonight
And hope shine through the darkness
Like the brightest Christmas lights
And ah, there's good news tonight,
There's a future and a hope,
Wrapped in swaddling clothes
Come to make the broken whole,
and wrong things right
Ah, there's good news
Ah, there's good news
Ah, there's good news tonight
Ah, there's good news tonight
