Christmas day ("The Prince of Peace"). The angel then flies over Bosnia during the siege of Sarajevo, witnessing mass destruction and violent warfare below. Confused as to why individuals would kill each other, the angel flies close to a recent battlefield, where a single cello player stood alone playing a forgotten Christmas song. While departing, the angel realized that as long as there was music, there would always be hope ("Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24"). Flying over the countryside, the angel heard a voice begin to sing from a church below. The angel reached out and held the song in his hand, wondering if it was the answer he was seeking, however, he still believed there was something missing, and continued his journey into the night ("Good King Joy"). The angel soon overhears a prayer to God from a man in distress. Listening closer, he discovers that the man's daughter is lost, and his only prayer was for her to be home for Christmas ("Ornament"). The angel made it his personal mission to bring the girl home, and he followed the man's prayer to an old bar in New York City, where he found her standing outside, wishing upon the neon sign to come home, as there were no stars to wish upon ("The First Noel"). A young child entered the bar and asked the bartender if they knew of the lost girl outside. The bartender asked the child how he knew the girl was lost, to which the child told the bartender that on Christmas Eve, if someone were to be home, they would already be there. Moved by this realization, the bartender took money from the cash register, and paid for a taxi cab to take the girl to John F. Kennedy International Airport to help her get home ("Old City Bar"). The angel was moved by this gesture, and truly believed this to be the example of kindness that he had been looking for ("Promises to Keep"). As the girl finally arrived home to her father, the Angel flew back up to Heaven, bringing God back his shining example of kindness during Christmastime ("This Christmas Day"). The old man then concluded his story, and thanked the young man for his company as he left the bar. The young man then rushed outside to thank the old man; however, he discovered he was already gone, and had left no footprints.
