Once upon a time

In a far off land

Wise men saw a sign

And set out 'cross the sand

With songs apraised to sing

They travled day and night

With precious gifts to bring

Guided by a light



They chased a brand new star

Ever towards the west

Over mountains far

And when it came to rest

They scarse believed their eyes

They'd come so many miles

This miracle they prized

Was nothing but a child



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 lines

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 lines

So once again we all

Can be children for a while
