Nothing but a Child

Once upon a time in a far off land

Wise men saw a sign and set out across the sand

Songs of praise to sing, they traveled day and night

And precious gifts to bring, guided by the light

They chased a brand new star, ever towards the west

Across the mountains far, but when they came to rest

They scarce believed their eyes, they'd come so many miles

And this miracle they prized was nothing but a child

And nothing but a child could wash those tears away

Or guide a weary world into the light of day

And nothing but a child could help erase those miles

So once again we all can be children for a while

Now all around the world, in every little town

Every day is heard a precious little sound

And every mother kind and every father proud

Looks down in awes to find another chance allowed

And nothing but a child could wash those tears away

Or guide a weary world into the light of day

And nothing but a child could help erase those miles

So once again we all can be children for a while

Nothing but a little baby

Nothing but a child
