lyrics

There's a baby whose story
I've been hearing since I was one myself
Born in a manger where shepherds and kings
Came to bow down before him

And I suppose until now
I'd never wondered
What life would be like
Without that babe in the manger
Whose story's been told since the night he was born

But what if?
What if there was no baby
What if he'd stayed in heaven
And left us to ponder if there is a heaven at all
And what if?
What if that little baby
Never grew to the man
Who would show me what love looks like
Well, I'd surely be different
Wouldn't we all?

There are days we may wonder
If we crafted this tale
So that we'd have a nail to hang our wreathes upon
Oh, but one look around
At this life on the ground
Leaves little room for the doubting

So I bend my knee
With shepherds and kings
And I sing
Joy to the world
Away in a manger
Oh come let us adore him

Well, I’d surely be different
Can’t imagine how different
But I know I’d be different
And wouldn’t we all
