Once upon a christmas morning   There was a pretty little baby boy   It seems like I remember sadness   Mingling in the joy   For mary saw the future   And the sadness it would bring   And that's when mary started crying   When she heard the angels sing      (chorus)      Let's make a baby king   Let's make him lord of all   Let's give him everything   Let's make a baby king      Now, you remember little king david   He's the little baby's kin   He's cousin to the man named john   And I know you all remember him   And john said, "let's get ready!"   The herald angels sing   'cause this old world needs to know   The good news that I bring      Let's make a baby king   Let's make him lord of all   Let's give him everything   Let's make a baby king      Now we could use a revolution   The world is turned upside down   We need a new direction   We've got to turn this whole thing around   And we need a lord to guide us   Teach us wrong and right   And we need a lamb to lead us   Into the land of light
