chris de burgh - bethlehem lyrics

[verse 1]
i saw three kings riding through the desert as the day begins
“we bring great joy to the birth of a baby boy
by the star we have been led
to this place,” then someone said
“the people that you´re looking for have never been here at all”

[verse 2]
i saw two birds, one was a hawk, the other was a dove
one said, “i am war”, the other one said, ” i am love,”
as they flew up to the sky, they got too close to the sun
and with a flash of light the dove fell to the ground

[chorus]
sometimes we never know, when it´s time for letting go
last night i heard them say “no!
we will never let that happen again!”
but it´s a long, long way from here to bethlehem
yes it´s a long, long way from here to bethlehem

[verse 3]
i heard one man saying that the lion can lay down with the lamb
but in the cage there´s nothing left
the lion has gone and the lamb is dead
no one gets in or out, and to be heard they´ve got to shout
that the words of the lord are written on the city walls
[verse 4]
i saw saint paul talking to the devil, like the best of friends
they said “let´s make a deal and bring this cursed war to an end”
as they stood there shaking hands
the devil signed his name to the plan
after a couple of days there was nothing there at all

[bridge]
much has changed in the modern world
there´s no time for the long ago
many problems that we have
are from the greatest story ever told

[outro]
and it´s a long, long way, to bethlehem
it´s a long, long way, to bethlehem
it´s a long, long way, to bethlehem
it´s a long, long way
