 Intro.: | | | | | | | |

 Well the news spread through Jerusalem, tonight a child is born

 There are shepherds fallin' to their knees, and an- -gels blowin' horns

 But in their golden halls, the Pharisees scoffed and drank their wine

 They said, "It's only Hebrew prophesy, we don't care

 And besides, He's just a kid, that's all He is

  One more pebble in the grav- el, one more rumor in the rabble

 How can He be king? He's just a kid" |

 Well in no time, it seemed the world was knockin' on His door

 Performin' miracles and wonders they had nev- -er seen before

 Soon, the Pharisees stopped laughin', the silver sum was paid

 And near the end He knelt down in the garden

 And He prayed, "I'm just a kid, that's all I am

 I'll need Your strength to see me through it, if it is Your will I'll do it

 But how can I be king? I'm just a kid"

 Now I think about the Baby and the Man at Christmas time

 Of mothers, sons and fathers and children just like mine

 About the power and un- selfishness, love and sacrifice

 The Gift that we were given and the price

 And how the news spread through Jerusalem, to- night a child is born

 There are shepherds falling to their knees, and an- -gels blowin' horns

 I wonder how on Earth the Pharisees could scoff and drink their wine

 And say, "He's only Hebrew prophesy, we don't care

 And besides, He's just a kid, that's all He is

  One more pebble in the gra- vel, one more rumor in the rabble

 And how can He be king? He's just a kid"

 Oh, how can He be king? He's just a kid, oh | | |
