He was born among the shadows
On a quiet winters morn
In a city of people
Unaware and unalarmed
Never realizing
A miracle was born.
The city of David
Completely unaware
That in the silence of the moonlight
A great miracle happened here.
Only shepherds were alerted
By angel messengers on high
As the virgin to her newborn
Sang a lullaby.
Animals were listening
The forgotten people were around
But the rest of the people,  sleeping
In this obscure little town.
Miracles unfold silently
As most people impatiently wait
Often they are hidden
Behind greed and hate.
Today we wait in silence
Some given up altogether
How on earth can someone
Come along and make it better?
Often times that someone
Is living in your skin
The solution to a problem
Lying deep within.
Nobody is a hero
Containing their own light
But guided like the shepherds
On the holy night
Following the star
Shining ever bright.
