Subject: Lyr Add: Star of Bethlehem (new)
Here is a new Christmas song..almost like a sea shanty...it might need a chorus added.

Obviously there are some generic lines and one very specific line from another song..changed just a bit.

Very simple tune...
----
Star of Bethlehem

What is this light that shines so bright
The star of Bethlehem
Where will it guide us this heavenly night
The star of Bethlehem

What is the name of the angel who came
The angel of Bethlehem
What can she do when there's no one to blame
The angel of Bethlehem

Who are the people who fled in the night
The people of Bethlehem
Who did they call on to help in their plight
The people of Bethlehem

Where are the beasts who pulled at the plow
The donkeys of Bethlehem
Their days are behind them there's no fields now
The donkeys of Bethlehem

Where are the keys that would gain our release
The keys of Bethlehem
In the hands of the children all hoping for peace
The keys of Bethlehem

What do we owe them from so far away
We owe restitution to them
The priestess will pray and the clerk says OK
We owe restitution to them
