Oh, Mary, Joseph, rest your eyesnTry not to think of the endingnWorld full of empty, He will dienBut tonight He is still just a childnnThe silent night drifts all awaynAnd the angels are dancing around younThere's the joy of knowing He'll save the worldnOvershadowing the pain that He'll go throughnnHave you cursed at the windnHave you cried to the heavensnHave you fought with this mercy you don't understandnWhen the wise men kneel downnTo kiss the hand of this king they found in Bethlehem townnnWill you hold back the years a whilenWill you dream that this man could always be a childnAnd never carry all the weightnOf the dirt and the distance and the company we keepnnHave you cursed at the windnHave you cried to the heavensnHave you fought with this mercy you don't understandnWhen the wise men kneel downnTo kiss the hand of this king they found in Bethlehem townnnAnd did the stars shine much brighter that nightnYou gave birth to the death that would bring us to lifenAnd did the mystery keep you awakenWas the sound of His little heart too much to takennOh, i don't understandnWhen the wise men kneel downnTo kiss the hand of this king they foundnnHave you cursed at the windnHave you cried to the heavensnHave you fought with this mercy you don't understandnWhen the wise men kneel downnTo kiss the hand of this king they found In Bethlehem townnIn bethlehem townnIn bethlehem town
