For those who are thinking this is a riff on “What Child Is This?” it’s not. It’s from a song called “The Peace Carol”.
I used to really like the Carpenters, maybe because my mom did. Last time I tried to listen to them, though, that taste had passed me by. Wonder why that is?
This is how we used to sing this song when I was in elementary school. Makes as much sense as the original, probably more.
Thought of this on the way to church one morning. Then, it was real hard to sing “I’ll Fly Away” correctly.
I think of this every time we sing this song in church.
It’s sad how many people didn’t know the song Phydeaux mentions. Sadder how many didn’t know how to look it up!
Do kids debate the lyrics anymore? I remember sitting around and debating the songs of Styx and REO Speedwagon and David & David and so forth. I look back and rethink those lyrics and can’t imagine how we wrung that much “wisdom” out of them.
This doesn’t sound like a bad idea to me, but then I don’t listen to Britney or country.
I thought of this the first time I heard the song all those years ago.
