There's a rumor going 'round from some shepherds
But the wise men say that it's true
'Bout a virgin conceivin' a plan God was weavin'
To bring salvation to me and you
Now they tell me that an angel foretold it
That a prophecy was comin' to man
All I know is something's goin' on Down in Bethlehem
There's something goin' on down in Bethlehem A Baby came to save the world
They say He is the Son of God the Great I Am, And it's got the whole town in a whirl
I heard He started building a kingdom
From a manger I don't understand
(But there's something goin' on) Down in Bethlehem Now just take some time and try to imagine If all of what they're sayin' is a fact
That His mother had stopped to deliver On the journey to be taxed
And they're callin' Him the promised Messiah
They say He has a Name above names
When I heard that it was Jesus Something inside of me changed
There's something goin' on down in Bethlehem A Baby came to save the world
They say He is the Son of God the Great I Am And it's got the whole town in a whirl
I heard He started building a kingdom From a manger I don't understand
(But there's something goin' on) Down in Bethlehem''
(But there's something goin' on) down in Bethlehem
