Lonely winding highway East of Allentown The burning red of Pennsylvania autumn all around And there's not a lot left to hope for So lately I've been thinking of you A rusty old road sign says I'm getting close To the place I left behind another lifetime ago And I swear it never changes But I guess the things that matter, never do There's a star high above Bethlehem tonight It burns a hole in dark and desperate skies There's a road reaching for Bethlehem tonight Where the weary lay their heads down And the lost are found I'm all out of excuses All out of lies Running out of clever ways to alter my disguise And it's not that complicated I just have to find my way back to you There's a star high above Bethlehem tonight It burns a hole in dark and desperate skies There's a road reaching for Bethlehem tonight Where the weary lay their heads down And the lost are found Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia I don't want a religious experience I just want to know you How do I boil this whole thing down To God so loved the world God so loved the world God so loved the world
