Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night.
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky.
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light.
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight, tonight.
Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping.
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today.
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King.
While you were sleeping.
While you were sleeping.
Mary shivers in the cold
Trying to keep the Savior warm.
Born among the animals wrapped in dirty rags
Because there was no room for Him in the world He came to save.
United States of America,
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night,
In the night.
America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay.
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King.
Will we be sleeping.
Will we be sleeping.
United States of America,
Looks like another silent night.
