Nativity Play
This year...
This year can I be Herod?
This year, can I be him?
A wise man
Or a Joseph?
An inn man
Or a king?
This year...
Can I be famous?
This year, can I be best?
Bear a crown of silver
And wear a golden vest?
This year...
Can I be starlight?
This year, can I stand out?
...feel the swish of curtains
and hear the front row shout
'Hurrah' for good old Ronny
he brings a gift of gold
head afire with tinsel
'The Greatest Story Told...'
'Hurrah for good old Herod!'
and shepherds from afar.
So--
Don't make me a palm tree
And can I be
a Star?
