[Verse 1]
I was young when I heard
I opened the book and read the words
Stories of a star up in the sky
A far off place
A baby child, born to be in the light
And the wise men came
And the angels sang
"Hallelujah"

[Chorus]
'Cause far away
Is born a little child
Far away
The Savior of Mankind
The Prince of Peace, the King of Kings
Born in a manger
Far away
Seems a little closer today

[Verse 2]
And when I’m old I'm hoping to
Sit by the tree in my living room
Tell stories of a star up in the sky
A far off place
A baby child
And like the wise men I will ask
"What can I bring when the angels sing
Hallelujah?"
‘Cause far away
Is born a little child
Far away
The Savior of Mankind
The Prince of Peace, the King of Kings
Born in a manger
Far away
Seems a little closer today
