Jesse Winchester - Let's Make A Baby King lyrics

Once upon a Christmas morning There was a pretty little baby boy It seems like I remember sadness, mingling in the joy Cause Mary saw the future and the sadness it would bring That's how come Mary started crying When she heard the angels sing. Let's make a baby king Let's make him lord of all Let's give him everything Let's make a baby king. Well, now you remember little King David Well he's this little baby's kin He's cousin to a man named John And I know you all remember him And John said 'Let's get ready, herald angels sing, Cause this old world sure needs to know The good news that I bring. Let's make a baby king Let's make him lord of all Let's give him everything Let's make a baby king. Let's make a baby king Let's make him lord of all Let's give him everything Let's make a baby king. We could use a revolution The whole world's upside down We need a new direction We got to turn this whole thing around We need a lord to guide us And teach us wrong and right We need a lamb to lead us, into a land of light. Let's make a baby king Let's make him lord of all Let's give him everything Let's make a baby king. Well, now, once upon a Christmas morning There was a pretty little baby boy It seems like I remember sadness, mingling in the joy Cause Mary saw the future and the sadness it would bring That's how come Mary started crying When she heard the angels sing. Let's make a baby king
