Balthasar’s Blues Lyrics by Wilder Adkins

Nativity

2009

[Verse 1]
I can’t get that star out of my sight
Lord, it keeps on burning all the day and night
Well Herod, don’t you know what these Jews do say?
Gonna be a great king rising up some day
[Chorus]
Well I’m an old wise man coming from afar
And I’m just gonna follow that star
[Verse 2]
You can’t stop this king ‘cause he’s coming from above
You can’t stop this son with your bullets or your guns
Herod, don’t you see what you ask of me?
Everything you say, oh, I just can’t believe
[Chorus]
Well I’m an old wise man coming from afar
And I’m just gonna follow that star
[Verse 3]
Some sweet day I will reach his home
And I will meet this boy destined for the throne
I will give to him treasure from the east
And he will give to me, oh, everlasting peace
[Outro]
Well I’m an old wise man coming from afar
And I’m just gonna follow that star
Well I’m an old wise man coming from afar
And I’m just gonna follow that star
