《Cry Of A Tiny Baby(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Cry Of A Tiny Baby - Bruce Cockburn

[00:00:23] Mary grows a child without the help of a man

[00:00:35] Joseph get upset because he doesn't understand

[00:00:46] Angel comes to Joseph in a powerful dream

[00:00:52] Says "God did this and you're part of his scheme"

[00:01:09] Joseph comes to Mary with his hat in his hand

[00:01:20] Says "forgive me I thought you'd been with some other man"

[00:01:32] She says "what if I had been - but I wasn't anyway and guess what

[00:01:39] I felt the baby kick today"

[00:01:55] Like a stone on the surface of a still river

[00:02:02] Driving the ripples on forever

[00:02:07] Redemption rips through the surface of time

[00:02:12] In the cry of a tiny babe

[00:02:27] The child is born in the fullness of time

[00:02:39] Three wise astrologers take note of the signs

[00:02:50] Come to pay their respects to the fragile little king

[00:02:56] Get pretty close to wrecking everything

[00:03:12] 'Cause the governing body of the whole [Holy

[00:03:25] Is that of Herod a paranoid man

[00:03:35] Who when he hears there's a baby born King of the Jews

[00:03:42] Sends death squads to kill all male children under two

[00:03:59] But that same bright angel warns the parents in a dream

[00:04:05] And they head out for the border and get away clean

[00:04:22] Like a stone on the surface of a still river

[00:04:29] Driving the ripples on forever

[00:04:34] Redemption rips through the surface of time

[00:04:39] In the cry of a tiny babe

[00:04:53] There are others who know about this miracle birth

[00:05:05] The humblest of people catch a glimpse of their worth

[00:05:16] For it isn't to the palace that the Christ child comes

[00:05:22] But to shepherds and street people hookers and bums

[00:05:39] And the message is clear if you've got [you have

[00:05:51] That forgiveness is given for your guilt and your fear

[00:06:02] It's a Christmas gift [that

[00:06:08] There's a future shining in a baby's eyes

[00:06:25] Like a stone on the surface of a still river

[00:06:32] Driving the ripples on forever

[00:06:37] Redemption rips through the surface of time

[00:06:42] In the cry of a tiny babe

[00:06:51] Like a stone on the surface of a still river

[00:06:58] Driving the ripples on forever

[00:07:03] Redemption rips through the surface of time

[00:07:08] In the cry of a tiny babe
