about

A performance timed for the Christmas Holidays.

This song is from the musical theater piece, Kingdom Come

lyrics

For unto us a son is born.
Now may our family linger on.
What shall we give to the swaddled lad?

Give him the wisdom of his mom and dad,
Then give him the will they never had.
That would not be bad.

If we say the words together, one by one,
This we will bestow upon our one and only son.
It's not a thing to say.
I thought about it anyway.
We hope he has the power to have him
Rise up far beyond it all.
And hope that he can do it for us all.

Yea sons and daughters, let us sing
For he is born, our glorious king
Come forth to save, King from a babe born.

And there's a reason for it after all,
To do it right. I've done it wrong before.
Seven times and more.

If we say the words together, one by one,
This we will bestow upon our one and only son
It's not a thing to say.
I thought about it anyway
I hope he has the power to have him
Rise up far beyond it all
And I hope he can do it for us all.

It is a lonely place
Just a half a mile from the city where we
Would go to play,
And there we made a little boy of
Charm and grace
He'll have to follow you not to follow me to
Get any place.

No, not at all
No, not at all
No, not at all
