lyrics

a child of christ is born today
mind sharper than the thorns in his eyes
in dreams he sings like the stars of the world
voice louder than a siren

a child of christ is born today
as disappointment fills the chapel
no great talents or apparent abilities
to make him useful

he walks alone
without a knowing home
a man of god loses hope on the hour
to a father everybody else knows
in his shadow

a man of christ has died today
no history to his name
quiet in the sunset in an unmarked grave
surrounded by the crosses he couldn't escape

he sleeps alone
without a caring home
a child of god abandoned by faith
living for the one who let him down
in his shadow
