Lyrics Nothing But A Child - Kathy Mattea

Once upon a time
In a far off land
Wise men saw a sign
And set out 'cross the sand
Songs of praise to sing
They traveled day and night
Precious gifts to bring
They were 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
The miracles they prized
Was nothing but a child

Chorus:
Nothing but a child
Could wash those tears away
Or guide a weary world
Into the light of day
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
Every day is heard
A precious little sound
And every mother, kind
And every father, proud
Looks down in awe to find another chance allowed

(Repeat Chorus)

Nothing but a little baby
Nothing but a little baby
Nothing but a child
