Nothing But a Child
Once upon a time
In a far-off land
Wise men saw a star
And set out 'cross the sand
They chased a brand new star
Ever t'wards the West
'Cross the mountains far
When it came to the rest
They scarce believed their eyes
They'd come so many miles
And this miracle they prized
He was nothing but a child
Nothing but a child
Could wash those tears away
Guide a weary world
Into the light of day
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
Was tending all to find
Another chance to life
Nothing but a child
Could wash those tears away
And guide a weary world
Into the light of day
Nothing but a child
Could help you rest those miles
So once again we all
Can be nothing but a child
In a far-off land
Wise men saw a star
And set out 'cross the sand
They chased a brand new star
Ever t'wards the West
'Cross the mountains far
When it came to the rest
They scarce believed their eyes
They'd come so many miles
And this miracle they prized
He was nothing but a child
Nothing but a child
Could wash those tears away
Guide a weary world
Into the light of day
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
Was tending all to find
Another chance to life
Nothing but a child
Could wash those tears away
And guide a weary world
Into the light of day
Nothing but a child
Could help you rest those miles
So once again we all
Can be nothing but a child
