[Verse 1]
On a cold night, late December
As the snow fell to earth
That is the one night, we remember
When a woman gave birth
And for miles and miles around
The baby's cry was the only sound

[Chorus]
Did He know the world was filled with pain
Could He feel all the hunger and the shame
Or did He know about the way He would die
And the reason why
Is that what made the baby cry?
Is that what made the baby cry?

[Verse 2]
As his Mother turned to hold Him
Her face filled with joy
He grew quiet when She told Him
He was more than just her baby boy
And for miles and miles around
Her lullaby was the only sound

[Chorus]
Did He know the world was filled with pain
Could He feel all the hunger and the shame
Or did He know about the way He would die
And the reason why
Is that what made the baby cry?
Is that what made the baby cry?
[Interlude]
And as He fell asleep
She wiped away His tears
But the question still remains
Have we changed in two thousand years

[Chorus]
Did He know the world was filled with pain
Could He feel all the hunger and the shame
Or did He know about the way He would die
And the reason why
Is that what made the baby cry?
Is that what made the baby cry?
