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 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 miracle they prized, was nothing but a child.
Nothing but a child.
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
A little child
Another chance allowed
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
Nothing but a little baby
Nothing but a little baby
Nothing but a child
Nothing but a child
Nothing but a child
Nothing but a child
Nothing but a child
Nobody can ever change
Nobody is just a child
