Fr. Bill’s CD Lyrics
Blanket of Stars: Make a Little Room
Things are getting just a little crowded
Our town is getting just a little tight . . .
The world is getting just a little crazy
I don’t know anyone who could not appreciate
Just a Silent Night!
Surrounded by a multitude of strangers
My hear and soul keep longing for their home
I’m trying not to think of all the dangers
When in a sea of human-ness
I’m filling up with loneliness
We all simply need to—
Make a little room,
Clear a little space
Stop before you push someone
Right through the season
Make a little room
Let a person through
Won’t somebody make a little room?
Make a little room
You’re too close, too loud
Where’s the joy of Christmas
In this kind of season
Make a little room, maybe use a plow—
Won’t somebody make a little room?
The family’s so frantic about Christmas
We hardly ever stop to see the lights
Activities like shopping for the gift list
They wrap us up in “over-do”
And parents look relieved its through
December 25th at night . . .
I wonder if it’s worth my while to mention
The coming of our Savior as a boy
Hey—let’s give Jesus all of our attention
His message, his nativity says
“Stop and smell the Christmas tree!”
Busy, dizzy people . . .
Make a little room . . .
Stop before you go too far . . .
Make a little room . . .
. . . Let the Savior in . . .
Won’t somebody make a little room?
