The Three Wise Men and Me Lyrics

Christmas Eve

1 BC

Outside of Bethlehem

Met three men

Became friends

They said I could join them

We stopped into a store before we left

They were having a sale on frankincense and myrrh

Bought a card

Watched the stars

And off we were

They had an extra camel so we traveled through the night

And when I asked them their names they all just said Magi

There were three wise men

There were three wise men

There were three wise men

And me

We arrived and we unpacked

But I was hardly able

I was tired and exhausted

I could have slept in a stable

We started walking towards the barn

When they said come all ye faithful

I stayed outside

By the fire

Because I didn't want to sleep in a stable

I heard a baby crying

But it sounded like a song

Then a little boy was playing drums

And they asked him to stop

There were three wise men

There were three wise men

There were three wise men

And me

Jesus Mary and Joseph

How will I get all their names right

And you might swear there were angels

The way the stable was brighter than the night

But who would ever believe me

It's not like someone is writing this all down

There's a way in a manger

I think this boy might somehow change this town

I'm not mad

I was left out

Of the scripture and verses

I'm not mad

Just a let down

But I feel I deserved it

Cause every mistake I've ever made

Led me to that moment

With three men

And one savior

Who I was too afraid to meet

Cause I watched from a distance

Cause I didn't feel worthy

But when I saw Jesus Christ

It brought me to my knees

There were three wise men

There were three wise men

There were three wise men

And me
