Kathy Mattea - Nothing But A Child lyrics

rate me

Once upon a time

In a far off land

Wise men saw a sign

And set out ‘cross the sand

Songs of praise to sing

They traveled day and night

Precious gifts to bring

They were guided by the light

They chased a brand new star

Ever towards the West

Across the mountains far

But when it came to rest

They scarce believed their eyes

They’d come so many miles

The miracles they prized

Was nothing but a child

Chorus:

Nothing but a child

Could wash those tears away

Or guide a weary world

Into the light of day

Nothing but a child

Could help erase those miles

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

(Repeat Chorus)

Nothing but a little baby

Nothing but a little baby

Nothing but a child
