Intro: 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 that someone said The people that you're looking for have never been here at all 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 to close to the sun And with a flash of light, the dove fell to the ground Sometimes we never know When its time for letting go Last night I heard them say Noooo, we will never let that happen again But its a long long way from here to Bethlehem Yes its a long long way from here to Bethlehem I saw St. Paul talking to the devil like the best of friends They said "lets make a deal and bring this curse and war to an end" As they stood there shaking hands the devil signed his name to the plan After a couple days there was nothing there at all Sometimes we never know When its time for letting go Last night I heard them say Noooo, we will never let that happen again But its a long long way from here to Bethlehem 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 And its a long long way to Bethlehem Its a long long way to Bethlehem Its a long long way to Bethlehem Its a long long way
