Nothing but a Child

[Verse 1] Once upon a time in a far off land Wise men saw a sign and set out across the sand Songs of praise to sing, they traveled day and night And precious gifts to bring, guided by the light They chased a brand new star, ever towards the west Across the mountains far, but when they came to rest They scarce believed their eyes, they'd come so many miles And this miracle they prized was nothing but a child [Chorus] 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 miles So once again we all can be children for a while [Verse 2] 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 awes to find another chance allowed [Chorus] [Outro] Nothing but a little baby Nothing but a child
