Well the news spread through Jerusalem, tonight a child is born

There are shepherds falling to their knees, and Angels blowin' horns

But in their golden halls the Pharasees

Scarfed and drank their wine

They said it's only Hebrew prophesy

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 ravel

How can he be king?

He's just a kid



Well in no time he seen the world was knockin on his door

Full of miracles and wonders they had never see before

Soon the Pharasees stopped laughin

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 too see me through it

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 mother's, son's and father's and children just like mine

About the power in unselfishness, love and sacrifice

The gift that we were given and the price



And how the news spread through Jerusalem, tonight a child is born

There are shepherds fallin' to their knees, and Angels blowin horns

I wonder how on Earth the Pharasees, could scarf and drink their wine

And say he's only Hebrew prophesy

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 ravel

And how can he be king he's just a kid



Oh how can he be king?

He's just a kid

Ooooh
