A child was born
A boy grew up
A shining star
From high above
His soul was pure
His heart was filled with love

He saw the wrong
He saw the right
He tried his best
To shine the light
Fate would mark
The path he held in sight

Then jealousy came
And threw him in chains
When jealousy came
His light was darkened
Stripped of his name
Inflicted with pain
Left out in the rain
Forever martyred

His soul embraced the lord above
He grew his wings flew with the dove
Angels gathered round and sang in chorus
They wept in orchestrated bursts
Their hearts were numb to joyous words
Then a miracle of life occurred

From up in the heavens
Came a decision
From up in the heavens
Came a reprieve
Complete salvation
For every nation
A celebration
For those who believe

A child was born
His heart was pure
A child was born
To save our world
He saw the wrong
He saw the right
He loved us all
With all his might

A child was born
A child was born
A child was born
A child was born

A Child Was Born

Rain on the window
Dark in the room
Pain in my heart
Thinking of you
Tears on the pillow
Salt in the bed
Can't get your memory
Out of my head

Old Tears are falling
Down from the sky
I hear you calling
My name tonight
It's taken years
To hear these cries
Old Tears are falling
For you tonight

I thought the pain
Was over and done
And I thought the battle
Was already won
But I feel the heartache
All fresh and new
Just like the night
When I lost you

Old Tears are falling
Down from the sky
I hear you calling
My name tonight
It's taken years
To hear these cries
Old Tears are falling
For you tonight

Memories of you
Thunder through my heart
Blow me down
Then tear me apart
Memories of you
Cut just like a knife
Old Tears are falling
For you tonight

Old Tears are falling
For you
Tonight

Old Tears

I needed you
Time after time
I needed you
All I ever wanted was for you to hold me tight
Make everything alright
But when I cried
I cried alone

I cried for you
Night after night
Oh I cried for you
All that I wanted was for you to hear
For you to care
For you to even notice all the pain that was there
But when I cried
I cried alone

My heart broke
In front of your eyes
My heart broke
But you didn't hear the sound you left me there
My soul laid bare
So now when I cry
I cry alone
And everytime I cry
I cry alone

Why did
You let me cry
Alone

Alone
