Lyrics

Down among the reeds and rushes
 A baby boy was found
 His eyes as clear as centuries
 His silky hair was brown
 Never been lonely
 Never been lied to
 Never had to scuffle in fear
 Nothing denied to
 Born at the instant
 The church bells chime
 And the whole world whispering
 Born at the right time
 ♪
 Me and my buddies we are travelling people
 We like to go down to restaurant row
 Spend those Euro-dollars
 All the way from Washington to Tokyo
 But I see them in the airport lounges
 Upon their mother's breast
 They follow me with open eyes
 Their uninvited guest
 Never been lonely
 Never been lied to
 Never had to scuffle in fear
 Nothing denied to
 Born at the instant
 The church bells chime
 And the whole world whispering
 Born at the right time
 ♪
 Too many people on the bus from the airport
 Too many holes in the crust of the earth
 The planet groans
 Every time it registers another birth
 But down among the reeds and rushes
 A baby girl was found
 Her eyes as clear as centuries
 Her silky hair was brown
 Never been lonely
 Never been lied to
 Never had to scuffle in fear
 Nothing denied to
 Born at the instant
 The church bells chime
 And the whole world whispering
 Born at the right time
