I'm really digging "Carol of the Bells" by Deana Carter

That is a cool interpretation musically, but they changed all the lyrics to make it more politically correct. -
I stand corrected. The only version of the lyrics that I had known, I remembered from an album that my parents brought home in the 70's from a Kroger's promotion; it was very Lawrence-Welk-ish sounding album. The lyrics on it were much more nativity based and had more of a spiritual connotation.
I found this article on the many iterations of the lyrics.
Apparently the original tune wasn't a Christmas song at all, but about a flying sparrow that ushered in the spring.Comment

Interesting. That Harry Simeone version is one of my all-time favorite carols. I couldn't even sing the tune to the other lyrics.

'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

Those are the words to Carol Of The Bells. This is the version I grew up with:
