Three kings from the east
Sat at a late-night feast,
Saw a star and wondered why
It shone and never ceased.
A long, long way to go,
Through the valleys high and low,
And a biting wind did blow,
Such a long, long way to go.
They left their wine and bread,
Followed the star instead.
Rode their camels through the night
'Til they came to a cattle shed.
A long, long way...(etc.)
They saw the star shine down
Over Bethlehem town,
On a manger filled with straw
And cattle all around.
A long, long way...(etc.)
They stood before an inn,.
To knock they did begin.
Knocked three times,
And three times more,
Just to waken those within.
A long, long way...(etc.)
(Repeat chorus:)
... such a long, long way to go,
Such a long, long way to go.
