Christians and Pagans (Live) - Dar Williams
Written By：Dar Williams
Amber called her uncle said We're up here for the holiday
Jane and I were having Solstice now we need a place to stay
And her Christ-loving uncle watched his wife hang Mary on a tree
He watched his son hang candy canes all made with red dye number three
He told his niece It's Christmas Eve
I know our life is not your
Style
She said Christmas is like Solstice and we miss you and it's been
Awhile
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able
And just before the meal was served hands were held and prayers were
Said
Sending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses
The food was great the tree plugged in the meal had gone without a
Hitch
Till Timmy turned to Amber and said
Is it true that you're a witch
His mom jumped up and said
The pies are burning and she hit the
Kitchen
And it was Jane who spoke she said
It's true your cousin's not a
Christian
But we love trees we love the snow the friends we have the world we
Share
And you find magic from your
God and we find magic everywhere
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able
And where does magic come from I think magic's in the learning
'Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are
Burning
When Amber tried to do the dishes her aunt said Really no don't
Bother
Amber's uncle saw how Amber looked like Tim and like her father
He thought about his brother how they hadn't spoken in a year
He thought he'd call him up and say It's Christmas and your daughter's
Here
He thought of fathers sons and brothers saw his own son tug his
Sleeve saying
Can I be a Pagan Dad said We'll discuss it when they leave
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able
Lighting trees in darkness learning new ways from the old and
Making sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold
