Star Child

As promised....

Star Child

Star Child, Earth child,
Go between of God,
Love child, Christ child
Heaven’s lightning rod:
This year, this year
Let the day arrive
When Christmas comes for everyone
Everyone alive.

Street child, beat child
No place left to go,
Hurt child, used child
No one wants to know:
This year, this year
Let the day arrive
When Christmas comes for everyone
Everyone alive

Grown child, old child,
Memory full of years,
Sad child, lost child,
Story told in tears:
This year, this year
Let the day arrive
When Christmas comes for everyone
Everyone alive.

Spared child, spoiled child,
Having wanting more,
Wise child, faith child,
Knowing joy in store:
This year, this year
Let the day arrive
When Christmas comes for everyone
Everyone alive.

Hope for - peace child,
God’s stupendous sign,
Down to - earth child,
Star of stars that shine:
This year, this year
Let the day arrive
When Christmas comes for everyone
Everyone alive.
