“A Spaceman Came Travelling” 

Christmas is coming up in a few days.  By posting a link to this sentimental song, I am concerned that Christian people might take offense. This is not my intent.  In my opinion, the music and lyrics are beautiful. The iconoclastic proposition, that there might be an ET connection to establishment of religion, has been described by luminaries such as Mr. John Keel and Dr. Jacques Vallee. I suspect that this song has the potential to open both the hearts and minds of those that listen to it. 

“A Spaceman Came Travelling” 

Chris de Burgh 2010

 A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar

 ‘Twas light years of time since his mission did start 

And over a village he halted his craft 

And it hung in the sky like a star

 Just like a star 

He followed a light and came down to a shed

Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed 

A bright light of silver shone round his head 

And he had the face of an angel

And they were afraid 

Then the stranger spoke 

He said Do not fear 

I come from a planet a long way from here 

And I bring a message for mankind to hear 

And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air 

And it went la la 

Peace and goodwill to all men 

And love for the child 

This lovely music went trembling through the ground 

And many were wakened on hearing that sound 

And travelers on the road 

The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky 

Which shone all around 

And just before dawn 

At the paling of the sky 

The stranger returned and said Now I must fly 

When two thousand years of your time has gone by 

This song will begin once again, to a baby’s cry 

And it went la la 

This song will begin once again 

To a baby’s cry 

And it goes la la 

Peace and goodwill to all men 

And love for the child Oh the whole world is waiting 

Waiting to hear the song again 

There are thousands standing on the edge of the world 

And a star is moving somewhere 

The time is nearly here 

This song will begin once again 

To a baby’s cry
