Starshine Singers - The Donkey Song Lyrics



Starshine Singers - The Donkey Song Lyrics




Mary and Joseph, they were all on their own
But for one poor little donkey,
And they walked for many miles to Bethlehem.
They arrived in the town,
There were no rooms to be found,
It was a busy time of year -
But above the crowd came a sound
So loud and clear.

You could hear the clip, clip, clopping of a donkey,
As they walked all night through Bethlehem -
And the knock, knock, knocking at every door,
When there was just no room at the inn.

There was an innkeeper man
And he held out his hand
To the strangers in despair,
For he knew within his heart
We all should share. (We all should share.)
So he led them aside,
To a stable behind,
Where the lowly cattle feed -
For within his heart he could hear
That mournful plea.

He could hear the clip, clip, clopping of a donkey,
As they walked all night through Bethlehem -
And the knock, knock, knocking at every door,
When there was just no room at the inn.

When you're finding it hard
To believe what you read
And the words that people say,
There's a special time of year
When you may change.
(When you may change.)
Just remember that man,
How he held out his hand,
On the first of Christmas Eves -
And if you sit quite still and listen carefully:

Clip, clop. Clip, clop. Clip, clop.
Clip, clop. Clip, clop. Clip, clop.
You can hear the clip, clip, clopping of a donkey,
As they walked all night through Bethlehem -
And the tick, tick, tocking of the time gone by
Since then.
You can hear the beat, beat, beating of a baby's
Heart, born to be King...
And... the... clip, clip, clopping
And the tick, tick, tocking
And the beat, beat, beating
And the knock, knock, knocking...
When they found a litt le room at the inn! Yeah!
