baltimore to bethlehem
the night was cold, the night was wet
filled with reminders, and regrets
slicked back hair and slick black street
listening to my heart beat
december's second longest night
sometimes it's hard to remember the light
got no map, and no star to guide
full of doubt on the inside
from baltimore to bethlehem
prince of peace he's the savior of men
i can't say i know this, but i've been told
he was worth all the wars and gold
and i've heard it said that i look like him
from baltimore to bethlehem
he carried a cross, i carry a grudge
he said it's time to move on, but i won't budge
and the christmas lights all look like stars
saints fill the sidewalks, angels in every the cars
from baltimore to bethlehem
the prince of peace the savior of men
i can't say i know this, but i've been told
he was worth all the wars and gold
the road is hard when it's us or them
from baltimore to bethlehem
God rest ye mary, where ever you are
me and you boy are headed for the bar
and we'll play darts and he'll let me win
