Trust me guys, this is not about you
Believe me guys, what I'm telling you is true
Leave your smugness and self-promotion behind.
Though you think you already know the answers,
Trust me, there are things beyond your senses:
Miracles can occur if you open your mind.
There's something in the waiting,
of that there's no debating,
Though it isn't quite the boost that you imagine.
Rewards will be a plenty,
relax, life won't be scanty
We have really upped the ante:
Come on, lose your pride, eat humble pie, Let's go! / What's going on
do our brains deceive?
An angel, here, as we live and breathe
No, we don't believe that you exist!
Tonight is the night of all our dreams,
And it is right where those powerful beams
Hit the earth, and there we will persist!
If angels are real, and heaven is true, and God is in existence
Why did we live in such subsistence?
Oh no, it is simpler to be in great denial!
(In great denial!) (Yea!)
Alright dude, if you're an angel,
Why is it that you don't have any wings?
Wings are so old-fashioned. Get with the times, it's the year zero.
Any other questions?
When you get to the place you're meant to be,
put an end to your games of rivalry
and place respect at the forefront of your minds!
Though you're three, be united in your mission
If your friendship overcomes your competition
Then you'll know the true meaning of being wise.
Let adrenaline be racing: This path that you are tracing,
It will lead the way for others to believe.
Creation will be thrilled here, The prophecies fulfilled here
Let your avarice be killed here, time to risk it all,
come on, lads, play ball, let's go! / What's going on
help us think and act
Behind all hard, indisputable fact,
Can there be a world we do not know?
Why then all our tears and pain?
Our prayers ignored again and again
Tell us, angel, if you're really so!
Tell us why we three were born in areas rundown and forlorn
Our fathers poor, our mothers weak,
Working hard to make ends meet.
No clean water, food or power
By power we mean candlelight
In districts risky and unsafe, the three of us became fast friends!
We'd hang out as a threesome making sure we kept one another protected
From bullies who would rough us up in ways unkind and unexpected!
And every night we would say a prayer
As our parents had taught us and at first we'd care
But as time went by, nobody was there,
Our faith and passion faded, we grew cynical and jaded
I mean angel, come on!
We don't know if you're deceiving and it's hard to keep believing
When you've stumbled and you've fallen
So we want a little love, a little praise, a little glory,
It's just the age-old story when your life has been appalling.
Now I come a-calling, I could give you a sermon:
Might as well be speaking German, I can tell you're
Determined to believe as you have, and that's cool, you deserve it!
You're entitled!
But could I ask you one last favor? / Yeah whatever
Just keep following that light!
A baby's lying in a manger / A manger? Whoa, seriously?
With goats and donkeys by his side
We didn't have lifestock in our delivery rooms.
Don't you worry, he is dignified...
You don't have much in the way of material possessions, doesn't make you poor.
By the way, bring gifts. New parents love gifts.
Perhaps he's right, we have been foolish
Perhaps there's more to life than us.
Let's find this baby and kick up a fuss
In a good way: let us do what we must.
We've got to follow the light!
We gotta follow the light!
We've got to follow the light!
So they headed off again, feeling touched, somehow redeemed
Now we have the Shepherds and the Three Wise Men
Believing in something big! / Look at the sky, at those marvellous beams
They're headed for something big! / Tonight just might not be all that it seems!
Something big, something big / Giving God the benefit of the doubt!
They'll discover something big!
Something big, something big / So from our ghetto in the east
They're headed for something big / We head towards this bountiful feast
Something big, something big! / What's the big deal? Guess we will find out!
They'll discover something big!
We’re making tracks! We’re forging ahead!
Towards the far horizon!
To set our eyes on this distant prize
Could change our lives for good / We're headed for something
Into a new neighborhood / We're headed for something
If we lose our way, we're screwed! / We're headed for something....
We're headed for something big! Oh!
Something big! We're headed for something big!
