Just another homeless family Hoping for a stranger's charity Just one night in one safe place to stay Underneath a star so far away She carried everything they had and more The little one the world was waiting for And somewhere in the night her child was born Into every heart so tired and torn And the light shining from that star Will show you who you are And his life shining with its light Will lead you through your darkest night They couldn't find a room for him back then But he found a place in the hearts of men The hope that all the world would come to know Born beneath that star so long ago Just another homeless family Hoping for a stranger's charity Just one night in one safe place to stay Underneath a star so far away
