Born In Your Backyard
Featuring Martee Lebow
I wonder if he knew what was coming next
When he opened up the door,
and found a couple in distress
Sir, you see we don’t mean you any harm
If it’s not too much trouble,
could we sleep out in the barn
What kind of thoughts ran through his head
The night that this innkeeper tried to go to bed
I bet he must have wondered about
the angels on his rooftop
And why do kings travel so far
‘Cause it’s not just an ordinary evening
When love is born in your backyard
So just toss it up to another crazy dream
Is what he must have said to put his mind at ease
Couldn’t slumber, no matter how he tried
‘cause a light shined over Bethlehem
and opened up his eyes
What’s the secret that this baby keeps
That prevents a man like this
from getting any sleep
I bet he must have wondered about
the angels on his rooftop
And why do kings travel so far
‘Cause it’s not just an ordinary evening
When love is born in your backyard
Love is waiting outside our door,
but we’ve got them all locked and chained
Miracles could be inches away,
but we choose not to stay awake
We’re keepers of the inn in a modern age
So close, but so far away
I bet he must have wondered about....
I wonder if he knew what was coming next
When he opened up the door,
and found a couple in distress
