Another Christmas favourite (complements of Steve Earle):
Nothing But a Child
Once upon a time, in a far off land Wise men saw a sign and set out 'cross the sand songs of praise to sing, they travelled day and night Precious gifts to bring, guided by the light They chased a brand new star, ever towards the West Across the mountains far, and when in came to rest They 'scarce believed their eyes, they'd come so far and wide And this miracle they prized was nothing but a child
Nothing but a child can wash those tears away Or guide a weary world into the light of day And nothing but a child can help erase those miles So once again we all can be children for a while
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
Nothing but a child...
