Karaoké Nothing But a Child Steve Earle

Once upon a time

In a far off land

Wise men saw a sign and set out across the sand

And songs of praise to sing

They travelled day and night

And precious gifts to bring

Guided by the light

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 this miracle they prized was nothing but a child

Nothing but a child could wash those tears away

Or guide a weary world into the light of day

And nothing but a child could help erase those miles

So once again we all can be children for a while

Now all around the world

In every little 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

And nothing but a child could wash those tears away

Or guide a weary world into the light of day

And nothing but a child could help erase those miles

So once again we all can be children for a while

Nothing but a child
