Cântăre And when her eyes are on the child

There’s a mother whose name is Mary

And she’s traveled very far

But she’s not thinking about her journey now

There’s a baby in her arms



And when her eyes are on the child

She finds all the strength she needs

All the struggles and the trials

Just turn into perfect peace

She can even stop and smile

When her eyes are on the child



There’s a soldier whose name is Terry

And he’s serving far from home

It’s the first time that he’s spent Christmas

Far away and all alone



And when his eyes are on the child

He finds all the strength he needs

All the struggles and the trials

Just turn into perfect peace

He can even stop and smile

When his eyes are on the child



Bridge…

There’s a world of lonely people

Chasing love and chasing styles

Oh but how different their lives could be

With their eyes upon the child

And when our eyes are on the child



We find all the strength we need

All the struggles and the trails

Just turn into perfect peace

We can even stop and smile

When our eyes are on the child

We can even stop and smile

When our eyes are on the child
