Story behind the song

I always enjoyed the little druumer boy story as a child.And this is a new take on some Christmas folklore.

Lyrics

My father told them, that there was no room
If they had no money to pay
And put them out under a Bethlehem moon
A man and his woman laden with babe

On to the next, but the rooms were all full
And everyone turned them away
No where to go with a child on the way
Only a stable with manger and hay

CHORUS 
I was the son of the innkeeper’s son
There on the first holy night
I saw the baby surrounded by kings
And a star up above shining bright

There in the silence, where no one could see
I said a prayer in the night
And I felt a presence I could not believe
Soothing, but powerful, holding me tight

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Still I am haunted by quilt and from shame
When my father told them to go
They only wanted a single night’s stay
But how could he even have known

CHORUS TWICE-OUT
