<blockquote>Then after he had thought awhile
The father recalled another child
Born in a time now far away
And how this child's dreams
Had reached this day

He wondered what that child had thought
And when he slept what dreams he sought
And did the shepherds understand
All the hopes in that child's hands?
And how those hopes would still survive
As dreams within each newborn's eye</blockquote>


<h3>The World That He Sees</h3>
There was a cold winter night
Where the dark went on forever
And the world seemed like a
Dream gone astray

And somehow there on this night
As the world huddled together
There a child slept at the end of
This day

And he dreamed of another world
In another time
And another place

Where no man
Has to wear a sign
Saying where he’s from
Saying what’s his race

And he wants us to believe
This world that he sees

What is the dream of this night
Why does it echo forever
Here in the cold at the end of
This year

And with all our different lives
Why do we dream it together
When at the first sign of snow it
Appears

When he dreamed of another world
In another time
And another place

Where no man
Has to wear a sign
Saying where he’s from
Saying what’s his race

And he wants us to believe
This world that he sees
