Nothing But A Child

Steve Earle

"Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not:

for of such is the kingdom of God".

Luke 18:16



Once upon a time in a far off land

Wise men saw a sign and set out across the sand

Songs of praise to sing, they travelled day and night

Precious gifts to bring, 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

And the miracle they prized was Nothing But A Child


Nothing But A Child could wash these tears away

And guide a weary world into the light of day

And Nothing But A Child could help erase these miles

So once again we all can be children for awhile


Now all around the world, in every little town

Everyday 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 these tears away

And guide a weary world into the light of day

And Nothing But A Child could help erase these miles

So once again we all can be children for awhile
