Peabo Bryson - Born On Christmas Day

It was a cold
And dark December night
But a star
Still lit the sky
Away in a manger
You heard a baby cry
It was the cry
Of the Son of God
A little baby boy
Born in that manger
To bring the world joy

So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world
Peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing
To fear because you know
God is with you all the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day

Many people soon gathered
Round that tiny run down barn
They knew not of what they saw
Then came three all dressed
In fancy robes
Silks and furs
This was the first indication
Of the importance of his birth

So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world
Peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing
To fear because you know
That God will lead the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day

We expected a soldier
Tto save us from our plight
All dressed in shiny armor
Ready for a fight
But instead he sent
A little baby boy
All filled
With love happiness
To bring the world joy

So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world
Peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing to fear
Because you know
That God will lead the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day
