A star shone bright on a cold winters night
and gave direction to those lost on the ground
it gave some hope has they followed the light
looking for a place yet to be found 

looking for a stranger said to be in a manger
a place where he could rest his head
no room at the inn he couldn't get in
but this place will do instead

out of the cold a story began to unfold
as the word of the birth soon spread
a story that would be forever told
about the child who had no bed

in no time at all visitors started to call
with gifts from wide and afar
how they'd been found in the darkness around
in the easterly sky shone a star

now the visitors have gone the story began
about the boy who came to save the souls of man
but he was villified, whipped and nailed to a cross
now man cries for his own weakness and loss
