There's A New Kid In Town

Kelly Clarkson · Other Songs - Kelly Clarkson

We're looking for The King

The new Messiah

We're following the star

Shining brighter

Old man won't you help us if you can

He shook his head

But he pointed his hand

There's a new kid in town

And he's lying in a manger down the road

There's a new kid in town

But he's just another baby I suppose

Heaven knows

There's a new kid in town

Here in Bethlehem

I see you've traveled far

Bearing treasures

You say these gifts are for

The new Kings pleasures

Well I've heard

That a King might come

But up 'til now there hasn't been one

There's a new kid in town

And he's lying in a manger down the road

There's a new kid in town

But he's just another baby I suppose

Heaven knows

There's a new kid in town

Here in Bethlehem

There's a new kid in town

And he's lying in a manger down the road

There's a new kid in town

But he's just another baby I suppose

Heaven knows

There's a new kid in town

Here in Bethlehem
