Bethlehem

Lonely winding highway
East of Allentown
The burning red of Pennsylvania autumn all around
And there's not a lot left to hope for
So lately I've been thinking of you
A rusty old road sign says I'm getting close
To the place I left behind another lifetime ago
And I swear it never changes
But I guess the things that matter, never do

There's a star high above Bethlehem tonight
It burns a hole in dark and desperate skies
There's a road reaching for Bethlehem tonight
Where the weary lay their heads down
And the lost are found

I'm all out of excuses
All out of lies
Running out of clever ways to alter my disguise
And it's not that complicated
I just have to find my way back to you

There's a star high above Bethlehem tonight
It burns a hole in dark and desperate skies
There's a road reaching for Bethlehem tonight
Where the weary lay their heads down
And the lost are found

Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia

I don't want a religious experience
I just want to know you
How do I boil this whole thing down
To God so loved the world
God so loved the world
God so loved the world
