As we lay sleeping unaware
It's nothing you can't prepare for
The child is born tonight
The child is born tonight
Suddenly things were flying
that never had flown before into eternity they left
men became angels before our eyes
and the newborn child he wept
the shepherd led the lamb
A child is born tonight in Bethlehem
Hey, I downed a few shots of bourbon
And whispered the Lord's prayer
for the living and the dead
A miracle could go unnoticed
in the chaos of this place
and they only relieved the track
of a tear down a dusty face
I stood watching helpless,
Like some crazy 4th of July
Everything's gonna be alright,
Everything's gonna be alright,
on the blessed in the dam
A child is born tonight in Bethlehem
