Into darkness, sadness, desperate madness, creation so torn

In fear, no faith, no hope, no grace, and no light

Warm hay, cold sweat, a mother, not yet

Praying godspeed the dawn
C           G        D       A     
She looks to her man, holding her hand
C    G          D
They wonder how long
       C          G        D       A          C    G        D
And the shepherds, wise men come to find them, and bow to a king
C       G     D       A        C   G         D (let it ring)
One star above shining on love, so bright it lit up the night before
C        G D
