lyrics

josephandmary
bill canonico 11-2011


stuck out on the street
with nowhere to stay
as the cold silent night swallowed up the day
needing a place to rest
joseph tried his best
but there was nothing

stuck out on the street
with nowhere to go
far away from anyone they know
joseph prayed a prayer
that his true love might be spared
from pain and suffering

mary i’m so sorry
I don’t know what to do
she said
that’s okay honey
god’s gonna see us through
it’s gonna work out fine
just like the angel said
it’ll be all right


stuck out on the street
with nowhere to turn
such a lot to lose such a lot to learn
down in a dusty barn
trying to stay calm
as they lay waiting

stuck out on the street
with nowhere to go
a baby cries his mother whispers low
angels bow and sing
praise to the newborn king
heaven celebrating

mary i keep wond’ring
what does the future hold
she said
this trail of tears
it’s gonna lead us to streets of gold
and love forever
coming soon soon soon soon soon
