Bethlehem Town

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
