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 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 it 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 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 miles

So once again we all

Can be children for a while

(Nothing but a little baby)

Nothing but a child
