Oh, mary, joseph, rest your eyes Try not to think of the ending World full of empty, He will die But tonight He is still just a child The silent night drifts all away And the angels are dancing around you There's the joy of knowing He'll save the world Overshadowing the pain that He'll go through CHORUS: Have you cursed at the wind Have you cried to the heavens Have you fought with this mercy you don't understand When the wise men kneel down To kiss the hand of this king they found In bethlehem town Will you hold back the years a while Will you dream that this man could always be a child And never carry all the weight Of the dirt and the distance and the company we keep [CHORUS] And did the stars shine much brighter that night You gave birth to the death that would bring us to life And did the mystery keep you awake Was the sound of His little heart too much to take Oh, i don't understand When the wise men kneel down To kiss the hand of this king they found [CHORUS] In bethlehem town In bethlehem town
