Underneath the Star

UNDERNEATH THE STAR We’re all waiting for some kinda’ light to shine on us To brighten up these darkened hearts We feel the longing once a year, for something we miss And we can’t seem to find it here So we, light up the city, light the house, we light the tree Trying to get this fire to spark Maybe a different kind of light is what we need A place to start, a walk out in the dark And it’s underneath the star SO COME CLOSER, CLOSER AND SEE THIS TINY CHILD WHO HAS CHANGED HISTORY AND WHO’LL BE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES IF WE WILL LET HIM BE IT’S NOT TOO FAR, WE DON’T HAVE TO LOOK SO HARD IT’S UNDERNEATH THE STAR We’re all waitin’ for some kinda’ light to shine on us But we don’t want to wait too long The closer it gets the more we fear it’ll pass us up And then this season will be gone So we put on the music, light the candles, hang the wreath Trying to feel it all come true ‘Cause we know that magic happened once and this mystery It draws us still, we want to feel our part And it’s underneath the star A mother there, a baby in her arms, A stable safe and warm, come in from the dark Here underneath the star ‘Cause we’re all waiting for some kinda’ light to shine on us © 2005 Kari Hilpert All Rights Reserved Hickory Town Music (ASCAP)
