Steve Earle (Copperhead Road) Nothing But a Child (with Maria McKee) Lyrics

1
Once upon a time, in a far off land
Wise men saw a sign, set out aross the sand
Songs of praise to sing, they travelled day and night
Precious gifts to bring, guided by the light.

2
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.

3
Nothing but a child could wash these tears away,
Or 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 Iittle 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.

(Repeat 3)
