Verse 1
Going down to Bethlehem
To see the little son of man
Lying away in the manger
Praise the Prince of Peace
Wheels start turning
Fires start burning
Shine a light on the wise men
Journeying from the east
Pre-Chorus
How could a little baby boy
Be bringing down so much joy
Chorus
Son of a carpenter
Mary carried the light
Christmas must be tonight
Verse 2
See the shepherds on a hillside
Looking up at the sky
On a cold winter night
They hear the angels sing
In a dream l heard a voice
Say, "Fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning
Praise the new born king"
Pre-Chorus
And just a little baby boy
He's bringing us so much joy
Chorus
Son of a carpenter
Mary carried the light
Christmas must be tonight
(repeat)
Verse 3
And it came to pass
The child was born at last
Happened right before
The star that shines on high
Pre-Chorus
How could a little baby boy
Be bringing us so much joy
Chorus
Son of a carpenter
Mary carried the light
Christmas must be tonight
(repeat)
Tag
It must be tonight ? it must be tonight
Christmas must be tonight ? it must be tonight
Mary carried the light ? Mary carried the holy light
Son of a carpenter ? it must be tonight
Mary carried the light ? it must be tonight
Everything's gonna be alright ? it must be tonight
Oh what a night ? Mary carried the holy light
