The Christmas story written from the Donkey's Point of view.

Lyrics

I've been walking through this desert
not knowing where I'm bound
Following a man
From town to town
I got a lady on my back
She's got a baby on her mind
We've got to find a place to rest
While there's still time

Refrain
You don't even know my name
But without me the story would never be the same

Verse 2
The lady shifts in her seat
And says we've gotta stop soon
The man shakes his head
And says honey there no rooms
The pains are coming faster
She says it won't be long
And I curse this desert and the king
That made us flee our homes

Refrain

Verse 3
There's a light up in the distance
We're hopeful it's an inn
I say a silent prayer
That this will be our journey's end
The man runs ahead
But comes back with his head bowed
Then I realize
It's all up to me now

Refrain

Verse 4
So I walk right past the man
And take the lady with me
When he catches up
He shakes his head in disbelief
As I walk into the stable
All safe & warm with hay
Just as the sun dips down
And night replaces day

Refrain

Verse 5
As the stars come out
There's one that brightly shines
Right above this stable
A sign for all mankind
That here in this manger
On this night was born King
And I got watched it all
And hear the Angels sing

Refrain

Verse 6
Now as you wander through
This crazy life of yours
You may think you're insignificant
But this one thing's for sure
Life is just a story
Played out on God's stage
And without you
It wouldn't be the same.

Closing Refrain
No one may ever know your name
But without you the story
would never be the same

You don't even know my name
But without me the story
would never be the same

Without me the story would never be the same
