Lyrics

I'm Sure if they knew the meaning of this light,
they wouldn't sleep a wink tonight.
But the world lies asleep and the earth keeps rolling on.
And few will hear the angels' song or sing along, as they cry:

One holy child comes tonight.
Feel the glow of the new star's light
shining down to a world that will not understand
the purpose of the man that will grow from this one holy child.

And few of them will see the baby as he sleeps,
or comprehend the gift he brings.
But search within your soul and open your eyes,
and you'll look into celestial skies, where the angel choirs sing:

One holy child comes tonight.
Feel the glow of the new star's light
shining down to a world that will not understand
the glory of the man that will grow from this one holy child.

Shepherds and kings, anyone who's listening,
raise your voice, shout for joy 'cause...

One holy child comes tonight.
Feel the glow of the new star's light
shining down to a world that will not understand
Oh, when will they understand
One holy child comes tonight.
Feel the glow of the new star's light
shining down to a world that will not understand
until they crucify the man that will grow from this one holy child.
