I long to be there ,As bright as the sky ,At Bethlehem's gate

September again you come so quick so sudden your strength so strong your kiss

The world groans and strains for the hope of a time

Like knocking so hard ,And trying to get through ,To Bethlehem,s gate

Cadd9 Dm7 Cadd9 Dm7

I'm chiding the heart that the body will live to question the power and the gift of birth

To stand and grow and die on the wasteland that scorns the high temples we build

And stand in the way, And darken the sky ,At Bethlehem,s gate
