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
