Now the season now the question Time to breathe a moments grace For the hunter and the hunted Taking time to break the pace Are you hopeful are you haunted By the ghost of Christmas past Face the future Undaunted Step aside or take your chance Run with the fox Into the wind on to the dawn of tomorrow Run with the fox Into the wild into the wild and the cold Beware of the rocks And be prepared prepare for love comes and goes Run with the fox Every year the revolution Won or lost before begun While we thrive on mass confusion Thus we walk before we run Run with the fox Into the wind on to the dawn of tomorrow Run with the fox Into the wild into the wild and the cold Beware of the rocks And be prepared prepare for love finally grows Let us live to tell our story Here on earth and out in space Forward on the road to glory History records the chase Have yourselves that certain Christmas Eat be glad and drink the wine Leave your sadness by the river Giving love and given time Across the ice of frozen lakes Run with the fox Along the lanes a lover takes Run with the fox Beneath the moon a Christmas moon Run with the fox And sing a tune a dreamers tune Run with the fox Across the bridge of many ways Run with the fox On to the planes where dreamers play Run with the fox
