Once upon a time
|
In a far off land
|
Wise men saw a sign
|
And set out 'cross the sand
|
With songs apraised to sing
|
They travled day and night
|
With precious gifts to bring
|
Guided by a light
|
|
They chased a brand new star
|
Ever towards the west
|
Over mountains far
|
And when it came to rest
|
They scarse believed their eyes
|
They'd come so many miles
|
This miracle they prized
|
Was nothing but a child
|
|
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 lines
|
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 awe 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 lines
|
So once again we all
|
Can be children for a while
|
