lyrics

A Small Beginning

I was an Innkeepers Daughter
And I gave refugees shelter
On the ground in the barn of my father
A bed of hay
A tankard of water to drink

I rocked a cradle in Bethlehem
One star the only light there
The only song
The lowing of livestock
A lonely song
A small beginning for a king
Sleep child
Don’t weep now
There’s time for that when you’re grown
There’s time enough when you’re older
And everything’s known

I watched as Mary held him
Like she knew right then the end
His only path hard and sharp things
A lonely path
A small beginning for a king
Sleep child
Don’t weep now
There’s time for that when you’re grown
There’s time enough when you’re older
And everything’s known
I was an Innkeepers Daughter
And I gave refugees shelter
On the ground in the barn of my father
A bed of hay
A tankard of water to drink
Sleep child
Don’t weep now
