Chapter Eighteen

The girls got to their places and began to sing;

Mercedes: God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Brittany: From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Santana: "Fear not," said the Angel,
"Let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Saviour
Of pure or Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might."
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

All: Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

I walked out and sat myself at the piano, I looked out at the audience and smiled, this was what I'd dreamed of for so long, to perform in New York, I began the opening chords, and began to sing one of my favourite songs (mine too lol);

Oh Holy Night,
The Stars Are Brightly Shining,
It is the Night of Our Dear Saviour's Birth,

Long Lay the World,
In Sin and Error Pining,
Till He Appeared and the Soul Felt Its Worth

A Thrill Of Hope,
The Weary World Rejoices,
For Yonder Breaks a New and Glorious Morn

Fall On Your Knees,
O Hear The Angel Voices,
O Night Divine, O Night
When Christ Was Born

O Night Divine, O Night
O Night Divine

Truly He Taught Us,
To Love One Another,
His Law is Love and His Gospel is Peace

Chains Shall He Break,
For The Slave is Our Brother,
And in His Name All Oppression Shall Cease

Sweet Hymns of Joy,
In Grateful Chorus Raise we,
Let All Within Us Praise His Holy Name

Fall On Your Knees,
O Hear The Angel Voices,
O Night Divine, O Night
When Christ Was Born

O Night Divine, O Night
O Night Divine, O Night Divine

O Night Divine

The audience stood, and I wiped the tears from my eyes, that song for whatever reason always touched me. I may not be Christian, but the morals of loving someone and living in a peaceful world, was something that I'm sure everyone with a conscience believes in. I sat down with Noah, as everyone else danced along to the music a local band provided. "You were amazing," said a woman's voice, one that I hadn't heard since I was ten. I turned around, "Mom," I said. "You're here," …
