On the other side of the world
there's a little boy or a girl
who's never heard about A Gift
or of Christmas or even what that is

That must have been how it seemed
back before that old manger scene
back before the world even knew
about Jesus and what he would do

It must have been so dark and cold
there must have been so little hope

Sometimes I wonder where I'd be
If no one had sent A Gift to me

But wrapped in mercy, grace and love
A Gift was sent from up above
Unconditional and free
That Little Gift changed everything

On the other side of the world
there's a little boy or a girl
Who all because of A Gift
Finally knows what Christmas is
