Bethlehem

1. I saw three kings
Riding through the desert as the day begins
We bring great joy
To the birth of a baby boy.

One star we have been led
To this place that someone said
The people that you're looking for have never been here at all.

I saw two birds
One was a hawk, the other was a dove
One said I am war
The other one said, I am love.

As they flew up to the sky
They got to close to the sun
And with a flash of light, the dove fell to the ground.

[Chorus:]
Sometimes we never know
When its time for letting go
Last night I heard them say
No, we will never let that happen again
But its a long long way from here to Bethlehem
Yes its a long long way from here to Bethlehem.

2. I saw St. Paul talking to the devil
Like the best of friends.
They said lets make a deal
And bring this curse and war to an end.
As they stood there shaking hands
The devil signed his name to the plan
After a couple days there was nothing there at all.

[Chorus]

Much has changed in the modern world
There's no time for the long ago
Many problems that we have
Are from the greatest story ever told.

And its a long long way to Bethlehem
Its a long long way to Bethlehem
Its a long long way to Bethlehem.

Its a long long way!
