Kathy Mattea - The Star Lyrics

Just another homeless family
Hoping for a stranger's charity
Just one night in one safe place to stay
Underneath a star so far away

She carried everything they had and more
The little one the world was waiting for
And somewhere in the night her child was born
Into every heart so tired and torn

And the light shining from that star
Will show you who you are
And his life shining with its light
Will lead you through your darkest night

They couldn't find a room for him back then
But he found a place in the hearts of men
The hope that all the world would come to know
Born beneath that star so long ago

Just another homeless family
Hoping for a stranger's charity
Just one night in one safe place to stay
Underneath a star so far away
