away
away, in a manger
awake in a bedroom
your breast shows you cry out
your breath shows it's a cold night
the dog lies the midwife brings in orange juice
and your bringing in something too
the angels sing and the shepherds quake
grandma and grandpa pray for what may
be going wrong
away, in a manger
no place for your head
no crib or a baby bed
you're the first born
you're the future laid out for all to see
you're the prophecy
but now you just gotta eat
the angels sing and the shepherds quake
mom and dad are worried about bills to pay
