Lyrics:
Who had ever thought that the death of a king
The news burning hot in the cold of a dream
I’m awake but I’m not still it’s bittersweet, bittersweet to me
‘Get up and take the child’ is what he said
'The ones who seek his life are dead’
I’m old enough to know it’s not some voice in my head
Not just some voice there in my head
This angel’s come before I’m starting to get used to it


Where will you have us go this night?
Another wandering in low light


Not waiting till the morning I won’t waste no time
Watch my beauty and my son rub the sleep from their eyes
When I tell them I can tell it’s no surprise, no surprise to them
Sometimes it’s easier to trudge along in the dark
With the friendship of the quiet and the company of stars
Any road you say to go is never too far, never far too far
And the LORD will lead my steps if I just let him lead my heart

Where will you have us go this night?
Another wandering in low light
I still feel bad about the last time
And all the blood that we left behind


I got to raise my boy and raise him right
In the promised land at the prophet’s guide
Don’t understand it but their words might
Be fulfilled in Nazareth
I don’t know how it ever came to this
Feel like raising a prayer alongside a fist
Maybe this time then the dreams will end
In Nazareth, Nazareth
But I don’t mind it, all the hiding
Still I'm kinda tired that this son that’s half mine
Is the son from on high can I even keep him alive
In Nazareth, in Nazareth


Where will you have us go this night?
It doesn’t matter LORD as long as I listen
Another wandering in low light
Foretelling’s never near as clear as fulfillment
I still feel bad about the last time
I’ll learn to leave you both the mercy and judgment
For all the blood that we left behind


Is he the one to spill or the one to give?
I have some sense that’s not the end of it
There’s something sacrificial on this kid
From Nazareth, from Nazareth, from Nazareth
