Christmas song from Neverland by Fiona Tozer
Before the first South African general election, local political rivalry led to the intimidation of the rural population. People took their children and slept in the bush because they were scared to sleep in their houses. Around Christmas time when the world is supposed to be filled with goodwill.

Lyrics
Christmas Song
Man stands in the shadows
On the edge of the night
Should he run should he fight
Time runs through his fingers
Can he stand alone
Should he stay or go
Can he leave his home again
Rain falls on the children
Too old to cry
Too young to die
As their eyes look around them
They'll be quick to learn
How to kill and burn
When it comes their turn to choose
And as you sit in the safety
Of your four strong walls
And your light bright halls
You can drink to the future
And a good New Year
Be of good cheer
Christmas is here again
Man stands in the shadows
On the eve of the day
They say Man was saved
Still the circle is turning
As the night draws near
They'll be fighting here
When another year has gone
God rest you merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
God rest you merry gentlemen

I started out as a self-taught guitarist/singer-songwriter. Since settling in Durban, I have played solo and with various bands, releasing several albums of original songs. I studied for a masters degree in composition, which widened my horizons and allowed me to compose internationally for different instruments. I continue to write and perform with my current project, Quark.
