Bethlehem Begins

Tell me once tell me twice how is it that we begin again

Do we start off by clearing up the mess or just forgetting

The way some people try to kid you'd think

We're better off pretending

Just how far can we go without working out the ending

We stayed awake one starry night

Just to watch the sky turn and change and aim...

So suddenly there's no day, no night,

No earth and no horizon

Everything that's wrong's now right

No moon or no sun rising

I can't tell my left from right

There's nothing to keep my eyes on

You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time

To Bethlehem

To begin again

Sometimes it feels like

The weals of winter won't disappear

So we throw out a rope and hope it gets

To the middle of the year

When we can't tell the land from the sky from the cloud

And nothing's clear I guess a miracle's the only thing

That's ever going to work here

We stayed awake one starry night

Just to watch the sky turn and change and aim...

So suddenly there's no day, no night,

No earth and no horizon

Everything that's wrong's now right

No moon or no sun rising

I can't tell my left from right

There's nothing to keep my eyes on

You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time

To Bethlehem

To begin again

To Bethlehem

To begin again

To Bethlehem

To begin again

Every step I take will lead me back

Along the broken road

So suddenly there's no day, no night,

No earth and no horizon

Everything that's wrong's now right

No moon or no sun rising

I can't tell my left from right

There's nothing to keep my eyes on

You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time

To Bethlehem

To begin again

To Bethlehem

To begin again
