So Far Away
Every year we see the babe
Tiny child in manger laid
We talk of love, peace on earth
Goodwill to all from this baby's birth but
Peace and goodwill to all people on earth still is
So far away, so far away
We know the tale how shepherds came
From all around to praise his name
How they came in haste to see the boy
How their hearts were filled with hope and joy (but)
Mary lay down when the long day was done
And she brought forth her first born son
The wonder of life, the miracle of birth
For 2000 years, the hope of the earth
How can it be that we're so slow
To learn the things that we should know
That hope can conquer all your fears
And love can wipe away the tears
When every year we see the babe
Tiny child in manger laid
And over the world as church bells ring
We gather round and together sing (but)
Tiny child in manger laid
We talk of love, peace on earth
Goodwill to all from this baby's birth but
Peace and goodwill to all people on earth still is
So far away, so far away
We know the tale how shepherds came
From all around to praise his name
How they came in haste to see the boy
How their hearts were filled with hope and joy (but)
Mary lay down when the long day was done
And she brought forth her first born son
The wonder of life, the miracle of birth
For 2000 years, the hope of the earth
How can it be that we're so slow
To learn the things that we should know
That hope can conquer all your fears
And love can wipe away the tears
When every year we see the babe
Tiny child in manger laid
And over the world as church bells ring
We gather round and together sing (but)
