We've come so far We've followed the star Herod 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 Take the long way around the sea We turn to go An angel shone Said, "don't go back To Herod's throne" Take the long way around the sea Take the long way around the sea Take the long way around the sea Take the long way around the sea
