A man invades a sacred temple in the desert

And makes off with the Pharoah's holiest of treasures.

It brings him wealth and fame

And credits to his name.

But when he disappears,

All those who hold it fear the same.

Weird and wonderful.

A family driving on a lonely stretch of highway

Returning sadly from a very pleasant holiday.

Just then the starry night

Is filled with blinding light.

They'd later testify

They'd never seen a greater sight.

Weird and wonderful.

In Sicily there lives the daughter of a peasant,

Who every Christmas gets a special kind of present.

They come from foreign lands

To try to comprehend

The blood that's flowing

From a little child's feet and hands.

Some things you can't explain.

Weird and wonderful
