This song was written and recorded aboard the international space station. An audio recording with photos is available.
(Yes, this is the same Chris Hadfield who did the famous Space Oddity Cover.)
So bright
Jewel in the night
There in my window below
So bright
Dark as the night
With all of our cities aglow
It's long been our way
To honor this day
And offer goodwill to men
And though
Where ever we go
It's come 'round to Christmas again
So far
Shines every star
There without limit to see
So grand
Faraway land
Beckoning, calling to me
And let it be shown
Wherever we go
In all of the wonders above
With all that we bring
There's no finer thing
Than this message, this promise of love
Love for the families
That gather below
Love for the stranger
That you'll never know
For those who are with you
Who wander above
So bright
Jewel in the night
There lies the cradle we knew
Home of
All that we love
And all of our memories too
It shall be our way to wander away
To take with us all that we know
And never cease
This message of peace
From Bethlehem so long ago
And never cease
This message of peace
From Bethlehem so long ago
