耶稣是天外来客吗？
天气越来越冷，这样的日子里若没有歌声将会更加苍白。若干年前，第一次听到齐秦演唱的《直到世界末日》，就被深深打动，尤其那段反复吟唱的LA……LA……LA，虽然唱的是世界末日，却让人心里充满了希望。这首歌改编自爱尔兰老将Chris De Burgh创作于1975的作品《A spaceman came travelling》（宇宙人来旅行），用科幻来纪念耶酥诞生，也算是另一种味道的圣诞歌曲，圣诞节之后，新年也就到了，人们总归要满怀希望和美好的憧憬。
YAHOO上有人提问：Was Jesus a spaceman? 于是有人就用这首歌来回答：Chris De Burgh has the answers! A spaceman came travelling.... 2000 years ago... beautiful music filled the air... yadada, a classic and not at all annoying when they keep playing it at Christmas. I'm pretty sure its historically accurate though.
A spaceman came travelling 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 angle, 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 travellers on the road, the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round...
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...
