| Our child arrived just the other day
|
| He came to the world as the Truth and the Way
|
| But they were trained to catch and kill the babe
|
| We learned to watch out and run away
|
| But He was born before they knew it or had a clue
|
| I said, my son will be like You, God
|
| I know He’s gonna be like You
|
| And the Christ’s in the stable
|
| Cause they filled the rooms
|
| Little boy, who are You? |
| Man, if they knew!
|
| When they gonna know that? |
| I don’t know when
|
| But we’ll get to Heaven then
|
| You know we’ll have a good time then
|
| Our son went to temple the other day
|
| I said, Thanks for the boy, God -- His mom just prayed
|
| Then two people who showed up had a lot to say
|
| And they were prophets, too, I said that’s so strange
|
| And they walked away, but they smiled as they did, I said
|
| My goodness, they liked Him, yeah
|
| You know, they really seemed to like Him
|
| And the Christ in the stable
|
| Will fulfill them soon
|
| Little boy, who are You? |
| Man, if they knew!
|
| When they gonna know that? |
| I don’t know when
|
| But we’ll get to Heaven then
|
| You know we’ll have a good time then
|
| Well, they came a-callin' just the other day
|
| Such nice wise men, I just had to say
|
| Wondered how they knew and brought gifts for the child
|
| Just look, they said, overhead, with a smile
|
| Well, it’s really quite rad but we followed the star’s beams
|
| To see the leader that its advent means
|
| And the Christ in the stable
|
| Will fulfill them soon
|
| Little boy, who are You? |
| Man, if they knew!
|
| When they gonna know, Son? |
| I don’t know when
|
| But we’ll get to Heaven then, yeah
|
| I know we’ll have a good time then
|
| My lungs seem so tired, my son’s come of age
|
| I call Him «son» for His mother’s sake
|
| I said, I’d like to see You fulfill those signs
|
| Except my health’s too bad
|
| Look like it’s time to die
|
| You see, I knew God could handle anything You’ll go through
|
| But it’s sure nice watchin' Him do that
|
| It’s been sure nice adoptin' You too
|
| And as I run up to go into eternity
|
| Jehovah, yes, I see
|
| My boy looks just like Thee
|
| And the Christ in the stable
|
| Will be killed real soon
|
| Little boy, who are You? |
| Man, if they knew!
|
| When they gonna know the Son? |
| I don’t know when
|
| But they’ll get to Heaven then, yeah
|
| They’re gonna have a good time then |
