What Child Is This? Lyrics
What child is thisWho laid to restThat I now find here sleeping? Do angels keep the dreams we seekWhile our hearts lie bleeding?
Could this be christ the kingWhose every breath the angels bring?Could this be the face of god, this child, the son I once carried?
What child is thisWho is so blessed he changes all tomorrows?Replacing tears with reborn yearsIn hearts once dark and hollow
Could this be christ the kingWhose every breath the angels bring?Could this be the face of god, this child, the son I once carried?
In the dead of the nightAs his life slips awayAs he reads by the lightOf a star faraway
Holding onHolding offHolding outHolding in
Could you be this oldAnd have your life just begin?
Reading by the light of a lost christmas dayIt beginsReading by the light of a lost christmas day
Tell me how many times can this story be toldAfter all of these years it should all sound so oldBut it somehow rings true in the back of my mindAs I search for a dream that words can no longer define
Reading by the light of a lost christmas dayAnd the timeReading by the light of a lost christmas day
And the time and the yearsAnd the tears and the costAnd the hopes and the dreamsOf each child that is lostAnd the whisper of wingsIn the cold winter's air As the snow it comes down And visions appear everywhere
Reading by the light of a lost christmas dayIn the airReading by the light of a lost christmas day
In the dead of the nightAs his life slips awayAs he reads by the lightOf a star faraway
Holding onHolding offHolding outHolding in
Could you be this oldAnd have your life just begin
Reading by the light of a lost christmas dayIt beginsReading by the light of a lost christmas dayIt beginsReading by the light of a lost christmas dayIt beginsReading by the light of a lost christmas dayIt begins
