An Ordinary Night

For those who had lost hope
He made a star that glistened
Inside a quiet night
He set to flight a flash of wings
Something bright

Weary hearts uplifted
The poor in spirit gifted
With a sight of the king
Inside an ordinary night
An etraordinary sight
All the glory and power of the universe
Inside the palm of a tiny hand

Only those who had lost hope
Could possibly understand
