Bethlehem Songtext

I saw two birds
One was a hawk, the other was a dove
One said, I am war
The other one said, I am love

As they flew up to the sky
They got too close to the sun
And with a flash of light
The dove fell to the ground

Sometimes we never know
When it's time for letting go
Last night I heard them say
No, we will never let that happen again
But it's a long long way from here to Bethlehem
Yes, it's a long long way from here to Bethlehem

I saw St. Paul talking to the devil
Like the best of friends
They said, let's make a deal And bring this curse and war to an end

As they stood there shaking hands
The devil signed his name to the plan
After a couple of days
There was nothing there at all

Sometimes we never know
When it's time for letting go
Last night I heard them say
No, we will never let that happen again
But it's a long long way from here to Bethlehem

Too much has changed in the modern world
There's no time for the long ago
Many problems that we have
Are from the greatest story ever told

And it's a long long way (to Bethlehem)
It's a long long way (to Bethlehem)
It's a long long way (to Bethlehem)
It's a long long way!
