Nothing But A Child Lyrics - Steve Earle

Once upon a time, in a far off land 

Wise men saw a sign and set out aross the sand 

Songs of praise to sing, they travelled day and night 

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 awhile

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 help erase those miles 

So once again we all can be children for awhile
