Long Way Around the Sea - David Bazan

We’ve come so far

We’ve followed the star

Herod heard

Said «bring me word»

Take the long way around the sea

Here for us

A humble birth

The son of God

Descends to earth

Take the long way around the sea

On Christmas day

On bended knee

Please accept

The gifts we bring

Take the long way around the sea

Take the long way around the sea

We turn to go

An angel shone

Said, «don't go back

To Herod’s throne»

Take the long way around the sea

Take the long way around the sea

Take the long way around the sea

Take the long way around the sea
