we've come so far
we've followed the star
harod heard,
said "bring me word"
take the long way around the sea
here for us
a humble birth
the son of God,
descends to earth
take the long way around the sea
on christmas day
on bended knee
please accept
the gifts we bring
take the long way around the sea x2
we turn to go
an angel shone
said, "don't go back
to harod's throne"
take the long way around the sea x2
take the long way around the sea x2
