Just A Kid

Well, the news spread through Jerusalem

Tonight, a child is born

There are shepherds falling to their knees

And angels blowing horns

But in their golden halls, the Pharisees

Scoffed and drank their wine

They said it's only Hebrew prophecy

We don't care, and besides

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

One more pebble in the gravel

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 knocking on His door

For miracles and wonders

They had never seen before

Soon the Pharisees stopped laughing

The silver sun 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

And 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 in unselfishness, love and sacrifice

Gift that we we're given and the price

And how the news spread through Jerusalem

Tonight, a child is born

There are shepherds falling to their knees

And angels blowing horns

I wonder how on Earth the Pharisees

Could scoffed and drink their wine

And say he's only Hebrew prophecy

We don't care, and besides

He just a kid, that's all He is

One more pebble in the gravel

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?
