Once upon a universe
Underneath these same stars
The most amazing thing happened
The God who sent the galaxies
Cart-wheeling into space
Set the planets spinning
Put the moon and stars in place
Was born

Now God has cried children’s tears
And God has felt children’s fears
Looked up at a frightening world
And felt very small
He’s been through it all
As one of us
Been hurt like some of us
Loved life enough
To choose to be a child

So let all the children come
And bring him all the little ones
And now whatever you do
Don’t keep them away

For God has cried children’s tears
And God has felt children’s fears
Looked up at a frightening world
And felt very small
He’s been through it all
As one of us
Needed love like all of us
Been hurt like some of us
Loved life enough
To choose to be a child
Loved life enough
To choose to be a child
