And if You are born now
How would I recognize You
Did the parents find a place
In a suburb shed
Ox or donkey bowed to You
One of shepherds caught a glimpse
Of new-born miracle
Sages of the world wandered thousands miles
To find You
Star shined
Celestial choirs sang
I am sure about one thing
King would not miss it
Angel would not warn you
You will not manage to escape to Egypt
Secret police will be faster
In which prison should I seek you, Oh Lord
