She called him her mistake
Lying in a manger
so sweet and chubby
tears streaming down his face
the pressure put on him was immense, just a child
with the weight of the world on his shoulders
lying in a manger
forgotten and dismissed
he would make the world better and free of danger
if not for the king
he would've made the world better
Lying in a manger bloody and crying
tears like shooting stars
the universe in his eyes
lying in a manger
forgotten and dismissed
his mother had other miracles to attend to
no time for her own
she called him her mistake
a body in a manger
cold and lifeless
Jesus was here, yes
but only so for a few hours
