The Very First Christmas Day
Such a long, long time ago
In a land, so far away
A baby boy was born
On the very first Christmas day
An extra-special star
Lead the wise men all the way
To a town called Bethlehem
On the very first Christmas day
The world was sad and troubled
But the wise men somehow knew
This child would make a difference
To them, to me, to you
And so, as the baby slept
Each of them knelt down to pray
For peace, love and hope
On the very first Christmas day
The world was sad and troubled
But the wise men somehow knew
This child would make a difference
To them, to me, to you
And so, as the baby slept
Each of them knelt down to pray
For peace, love and hope
On the very first
On the very first Christmas day
