Once A City
Music by 10,000 Maniacs - Lyrics by Mary Ramsey & John Lombardo
This was once a city
harmony a common theme
but these complications
now make life a bit uneasy
hallowed buildings scrape the sky
voices ride the airwaves
once a city years gone by
will they still be standing in thecenturies ahead
going underground little children hiding,
bullets never meant for them
must there be such bloodshed in our hearts, our homes, ourheads?
will I be walking, walking so free?
this was a city once
this was once a city
harmony a common theme but these complications
once a city, once a dream.

LOVE WAS BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY
It was a dark starry night
That made the world see the light
Three wise men followed the star
The angels led them to a new born child
When they saw him love filled the air
It was a cold December night
A father, a mother, and a child
CHORUS:
Love was born on Christmas day
Love was born on Christmas day
Sleeping in a manger
Was the world only Saviour
Humble beginnings of love
We're given and shown to the world
Love was born on Christmas day
Frankincense, Myrth and gold
We're the fi
It was a dark starry night
That made the world see the light
Three wise men followed the star
The angels led them to a new born child
When they saw him love filled the air
It was a cold December night
A father, a mother, and a child
CHORUS:
Love was born on Christmas day
Love was born on Christmas day
Sleeping in a manger
Was the world only Saviour
Humble beginnings of love
We're given and shown to the world
Love was born on Christmas day
Frankincense, Myrth and gold
We're the fi
