作词 : Skip Ewing/Kent Blazy 作曲 : Skip Ewing/Kent Blazy Well the news spread through JerusalemTonight a child is born There are shepherds fallin' to their knees And angels blowin' horns But in their golden halls, the pharisees Scoffed and drank their wine They said, "It's only Hebrew prophesyWe don't care and besides He's just a kidThat's all He isOne more pebble in the gravelOne more rumor in the rabbleHow can He be king? He's just a kid" Well in no time it seemed The world was knockin' on His doorPerforming miracles and wonders They had never seen before Soon the pharisees stopped laughing The silver sum was paid And near the end He knelt down In the garden and He prayedI'm just a kid, that's all I amI'll need Your strength to see me through it If it is Your will I'll do it But how can I be king, I'm just a kid? Now I think about the baby And the man at Christmas time Of mothers, sons and fathers And children just like mine About the power in unselfishness Love and sacrifice The gift that we were given And the price And how the news spread through JerusalemTonight a child is born There are shepherds falling to their knees And angels blowin' horns I wonder how on earth the pharisees Could scoff and drink their wine And say, "He's only Hebrew prophesyWe don't care and besides, He's just a kidThat's all He isOne more pebble in the gravelOne more rumor in the rabbleAnd how can He be king? He's just a kid" Oh, how can He be king? He's just a kid
