We've come so far, we followed the star
Herod heard, said "bring me word"
take the long way around the sea

Here for us a humble birth
the son of God descends to earth
take the long way around the sea

On Christmas day, on bended knee
please accept the gifts we bring
take the long way around the sea
take the long way around the sea

We turn to go, an angel shone
said "don't go back to Herod's throne"
take the long way around the sea
take the long way around the sea
take the long way around the sea
take the long way around the sea
