Once upon a Christmas morning
There was a pretty little baby boy
It seems like I remember sadness
Mingling in the joy
For Mary saw the future
And the sadness it would bring
And that's when Mary started crying
When she heard the angels sing

(Chorus:)
Let’s make a baby king
Let’s make him lord of all
Let’s give him everything
Let’s make a baby king

Now, you remember little king David
He’s the little baby’s kin
He’s cousin to the man named John
And I know you all remember him

And John said, "let's get ready!"
The herald angels sing
‘cause this old world needs to know
The good news that I bring

(Chorus:)
Let’s make a baby king
Let’s make him lord of all
Let’s give him everything
Let’s make a baby king

Now we could use a revolution
The world is turned upside down
We need a new direction
We’ve got to turn this whole thing around
And we need a lord to guide us
Teach us wrong and right
And we need a lamb to lead us
Into the land of light
