Lyrics : Bethlehem
I saw three kings riding through the desert as the day begins
"We bring great joy to the birth of a baby boy
By the star we have been led
To this place," then someone said
"The people that you´re looking for have never been here at all"
I saw two birds, one was a hawk, the other was a dove
One said, "I am war", the other one said, " I am love,"
As they flew up to the sky, they got too close to the sun
And with a flash of light the dove fell to the ground
Sometimes we never know, when it´s time for letting go
Last night I heard them say "No!
We will never let that happen again!"
But it´s a long, long way from here to Bethlehem
Yes it´s a long, long way from here to Bethlehem
I heard one man saying that the lion can lay down with the lamb
But in the cage there´s nothing left
The lion has gone and the lamb is dead
No one gets in or out, and to be heard they´ve got to shout
That the words of the Lord are written on the city walls
I saw Saint Paul talking to the devil, like the best of friends
They said "let´s make a deal and bring this cursed war to an end"
As they stood there shaking hands
The Devil signed his name to the plan
After a couple of days there was nothing there at all
Sometimes we never know, when it´s time for letting go
Last night I heard them say "No!
We will never let that happen again!"
But it´s a long, long way from here to Bethlehem
Yes it´s a long, long way from here to Bethlehem
Much has changed in the modern world
There´s no time for the long ago
Many problems that we have
Are from the greatest story ever told
And it´s a long, long way, to Bethlehem
It´s a long, long way, to Bethlehem
It´s a long, long way, to Bethlehem
It´s a long, long way
"We bring great joy to the birth of a baby boy
By the star we have been led
To this place," then someone said
"The people that you´re looking for have never been here at all"
I saw two birds, one was a hawk, the other was a dove
One said, "I am war", the other one said, " I am love,"
As they flew up to the sky, they got too close to the sun
And with a flash of light the dove fell to the ground
Sometimes we never know, when it´s time for letting go
Last night I heard them say "No!
We will never let that happen again!"
But it´s a long, long way from here to Bethlehem
Yes it´s a long, long way from here to Bethlehem
I heard one man saying that the lion can lay down with the lamb
But in the cage there´s nothing left
The lion has gone and the lamb is dead
No one gets in or out, and to be heard they´ve got to shout

Much has changed in the modern world

Are from the greatest story ever told
And it´s a long, long way, to Bethlehem
It´s a long, long way, to Bethlehem
It´s a long, long way, to Bethlehem
It´s a long, long way
