Kathy Mattea - Nothing but a Child lyrics

Once upon a time In a far off land Wise men saw a sign And set out 'cross the sand With songs apraised to sing They travled day and night With precious gifts to bring Guided by a light They chased a brand new star Ever towards the west Over mountains far And when it came to rest They scarse believed their eyes They'd come so many miles This miracle they prized Was nothing but a child 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 lines So once again we all Can be children for a while 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 awe to find Another chance allowed 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 lines So once again we all Can be children for a while
