What Made The Baby Cry? Lyrics


												
														   (William J. Golay)

 

 On a cold night, late December

 As the snow fell to earth

 That's the one night, we remember

 When a woman gave birth

 And for miles and miles around

 The baby's cry was the only sound

 

 Did He know the world was filled with pain

 Could He feel all the hunger and the shame

 Or did He know about the way He would die

 And the reason why

 Is that what made the baby cry?

 Is that what made the baby cry?

 

 As his Mother turned to hold Him

 Her face filled with joy

 He grew quiet when She told Him

 He was more than just her baby boy

 And for miles and miles around

 Her lullaby was the only sound

 

 Did She know the world was filled with pain

 Could She feel all the hunger and the shame

 Or did She know about the way He would die

 And the reason why

 Is that what made Her baby cry?

 Is that what made Her baby cry?

 

 And as He fell asleep

 She wiped away His tears

 But the question still remains

 Have we changed in two thousand years

 

 Don't you know the world is still in pain

 Can't you feel all the hunger and the shame

 Did we forget about the way that He died

 And the reason why

 Would we still make the baby cry?

 Would we still make the baby cry?
