Lyrics
Luke Chapter 2, Verses 8 to 10
And there were in the same country
Shepherds abiding in the field
Keeping watch over their flock by night
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them
And the glory of the Lord shone 'round about them
And they were so afraid, and the angel said unto them
"Fear not, for behold I bring tidings of great joy
Which shall be unto all..."
Is it a bird, is it a plane
Is it perhaps I'm going insane
From all night abidin' the field?
Look at the thing up on the ridge
W-w-what d'ya reckon it is?
It's moving, I think it's on wheels
Is it a flame hooked to a cart?
Come to a "whoa" there in the dark
Why in the world would you move such a thing?
Lo, enough, hark, I could've sworn
I heard a shout, what's going on?
It's closer, it's coming our way
Daniel, get up (Daniel, get up)
Gather the sheep (gather the sheep)
Tell them there's no time to sleep (no time to sleep)
My God, it's the end of the world (my God, it's the end of the world)
I'm so afraid, but I was right
It was a shout come from the light
It is a woman on fire with two wings
And though she burns, it's seems to me
She's just as calm as she can be
Trying to get us to hear what she sings
Daniel, get up (Daniel, get up)
Gather the sheep (gather the sheep)
Tell them there's no time to sleep (no time to sleep)
My God, it's the end of the world (my God, it's the end of the world)
Daniel, get up (Daniel, get up)
Gather the sheep (gather the sheep)
Tell them there's no time to sleep (no time to sleep)
My God, it's the end of the world (my God, it's the end of the world)
My God, it's the end of the world (my God, it's the end of the world)
My God, it's the end of the world
