Kristin Lems: Song Lyrics, samples

The closest thing I've ever written to a Christmas carol...Merry Christmas every day, everywhere.

Baby Jesus was born in the hay
The townspeople turned his parents away
For the family was poor and had no place to stay
Just like a lot of folks living today

Now Mary was tired and cold
Far from her family and friendships of old
But she vowed to love her baby thru life's up & downs
Just like mothers the whole world around

And Joseph, he worked with his hands
Didn't own a house, didn't own any lands
And all he had came from the sweat of his brow
Just like a lot of men living right now

Now the baby and mother lay warm
In that poor shed, safe from winter's cold storm
And the stars in the sky looked down where they lay
Jesus and Mary asleep on the hay

There are babies being born every hour
Some are born rich, and many others born poor
But each child is a miracle, each child a star
And each one deserves all the best things there are
On Christmas and every day, each child is a star.
