STR2D3PO asked about this Scotty McCreery song, so enjoy your Wassalia present! I thought it would be fun if, during the annual holiday concert at Royal Prep, the Music Appreciation class, taught by Professor Blumberg, and the Royal Prep Chorus, taught by Sir Maxwell, combined to entertain the crowd. And even though James is accompanying the song, he has a solo, along with some other students. Scotty McCreery's music is not mine.
Royal Prep's annual holiday concert was going well. Everyone loved hearing the students sing their favorite songs, including some they'd never heard before. The students in the Royal Prep Chorus had done some cute dances to go along with one of their medleys, and now, they were coming back to the stage to sing with the Music Appreciation class.
Sir Maxwell smiled as he watched James sit down at the piano to accompany the choirs. He knew how much James loved singing, and how he used to feel about it. Before he started singing in public again, he'd sometimes try to get him to sing with him as he took care of his equipment and watched James take care of Sir Finnegan's equipment, but James always shook his head. Now they were both singing in the knights' barracks, and sometimes the other knights, even Sir Finnegan, would join in.
At the same time, Gwen and Wallace's children, Timothy and Amy, came forward, since according to Sir Maxwell, they were doing solos. Professor Blumberg also motioned toward James, indicating that he also had a solo, but he was accompanying the groups. Vivian was also accompanying them on her mandolin, and doing a duet with James.
When the music started, Timothy came up to the microphone and began. Two brothers not speaking for two years now
Can't even remember what they're fighting about
It might be the snow falling or the glow of those lights
But they both say "I'm sorry", end up talking all night
He stepped back as both choirs sang, Hallelujah! There's forgiveness in the wind
Hallelujah! It's time to let go and let the love in
Christmas is comin' 'round again
Timothy's sister Amy stepped up to the microphone for the next solo, There's a mom and a daddy split up last July
Two houses, three kids, now they're splitting up time
Comes over for dinner, ends up sticking around
Round the table they're laughing. Hey, they might work it out
As Gwen and Wallace cheered the loudest for her and Timothy's solos, the choirs sang together, Hallelujah! There's forgiveness in the wind
Hallelujah! It's time to let go and let the love in
Christmas is comin' 'round again
From where they were accompanying the choirs on their respective piano and mandolin, James and Vivian sang together, Oh, there's something 'bout this time of year
It makes you wanna start living right now, right here
Roland smiled as he heard James singing with the choirs. He knew Melinda would be happy to hear him singing in public again. "I'm so proud of you, James," he murmured.
"We all are," Miranda smiled and squeezed his hand as Professor Blumberg gave James the cue to start singing.
As he accompanied himself, James took the next solo, He opens the door and walks inside.
The choir is singing "Silent Night".
Hadn't been in this place since he turned 18.
Heard the story of a baby born a king,
Sent here to save us from everything.
It hit him straight in his heart and he fell to his knees.
The choirs finished the song together, Hallelujah! There's forgiveness in the wind
Hallelujah! It's time to let go and let the love in
Hallelujah! There's forgiveness in the wind
Hallelujah! It's time to let go and let the love in
Christmas is comin' 'round again
Christmas is comin' 'round again
Everyone was on their feet at the end of the song, giving the choirs a standing ovation. Roland and James met each other's eyes and smiled, knowing that Melinda would be proud.
As she listened from Heaven, Melinda looked down at the scene and smiled. "That's my boy!"
