And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and goodwill towards men.”

“…And that’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”

Stretch Out and Wait

I was watching TV last night and came across Brad Meltzer’s Decoded on the History Channel. The episode was “2012: The Beginning”.

Normally, these shows don’t do much more than inform and entertain. This particular one got me thinking.

All the lies that you make up
What’s at the back of your mind ?
Oh,your face I can see and it’s desperately kind
What’s at the back of your mind ?

Two icy-cold hands conducting the way
It’s the Eskimo blood in my veins
Amid concrete and clay
And general decay
Nature must still find a way
So ignore all the codes of the day
Let your juvenile impulses sway
This way and that way
This way, that way
God, how sex implores you
To let yourself lose yourself

Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Let your puny body, lie down, lie down
As we lie, you say
As we lie, you say
Stretch out and …
Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Let your puny body lie down, lie down
As we lie, you say :
Will the world end in the night time ?

(I really don’t know)
Or will the world end in the day time ?
(I really don’t know)
And is there any point ever having children ?
Oh, I don’t know
What I do know is we’re Here and it’s Now

So … stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
There is no debate, no debate, no debate
How can you consciously contemplate
When there’s no debate, no debate ?
Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Wait
Wait
Wait
Wait
Oh …

Why in the world are we here?
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on Earth are you there
When you’re everywhere
Gonna get your share

A faithful dog will play with you
And laugh with you and cry…
She’ll gladly starve to stay with you
Nor ever reason why…

And when you’re feeling out of sorts
Somehow she’ll understand
She’ll watch you with her shining eyes
And try to lick your hand.
