Lyrics Kathy Mattea

Kathy Mattea

The Star

Just another homeless family

Hoping for a stranger's charity

Just one night in one safe place to stay

Underneath a star so far away

She carried everything they had and more

The little one the world was waiting for

And somewhere in the night her child was born

Into every heart so tired and torn

And the light shining from that star

Will show you who you are

And his life shining with its light

Will lead you through your darkest night

They couldn't find a room for him back then

But he found a place in the hearts of men

The hope that all the world would come to know

Born beneath that star so long ago

Just another homeless family

Hoping for a stranger's charity

Just one night in one safe place to stay

Underneath a star so far away
