Wisemen

Lyrics

[Chorus] I'm on the road, dog Got my backpack, maps and my road dogs If you could see what we see You would want to go where we're going, just to be where we'll be In the presence of more than a baby boy The Lord who can save you and save me Or maybe if it's still not clear Let wisemen open your eyes and take you there [Verse 1] The sky was clear that night, right? Cold, crisp air? Yeah, the stars was mad bright Remember that y'all? But there was that one star that was shining brighter than them all I remember, wasn't it December? That's the wrong date But it did put an end to our long wait 'Cause we were getting restless while we waited For a special Child, with a mom highly favored No more singing the blues We knew the sky signified the coming of the King of the Jews We'd studied the script Next step was to study the trip Packed up, we were ready to dip Ready to roll Wasn't even sweating the cold We were convinced of His hotness Ready to go Don't forget the planks that anchor the tents And with the gold, grab myrrh and some frankincense Let's go [Chorus] I'm on the road, dog Got my backpack, maps and my road dogs If you could see what we see You would want to go where we're going, just to be where we'll be In the presence of more than a baby boy The Lord who can save you and save me Or maybe if it's still not clear Let wisemen open your eyes and take you there [Verse 2] It's been a minute, but we're still stepping, still trekking Can't wait to put our eyes on what our heart's expecting It's on, I can't wait to find the palace, recline in the palace Sit back and drink wine from the chalice You know they from out of town right? They probably downtown in the Crown Plaza, not in Crown Heights He probably got a long line waiting to see Him I bet you even King Herod waiting to see Him I should give him a call; he'll probably let me in And if he hooking me up, then we all getting in Man, I called Herod, he don't know where He at But he said if we find Him we should call him right back I don't trust that dude, I ain't calling him back Chill with all that, you can see we're on the right track What makes you say that? 'Cause the star's right there Well, if the star's right there Then we must be here! Let's go [Chorus] I'm on the road, dog Got my backpack, maps and my road dogs If you could see what we see You would want to go where we're going, just to be where we'll be In the presence of more than a baby boy The Lord who can save you and save me Or maybe if it's still not clear Let wisemen open your eyes and take you there [Verse 3] Fading in the distance The place where all of us faced a twist Deeper than the sixth sense Wasn't what I expected to see Someone as great as Him, living lesser than me And truthfully, we were blown away By a King with no bling, just a throne of hay Even shepherds had heard of Him Somehow, they got word of Him Wisemen, herdsmen, all of us worshipping Anybody notice how the sheep and cows Seem to peek and bow to the sleeping Child? We went home a different way Not just geographically, but He impacted me Never forget the day We got to sit back and see God's presence A present, gift-wrapped And I hope you get that 'Cause when you got Jesus You don't have to wonder where the gifts at [Chorus] I'm on the road, dog Got my backpack, maps and my road dogs If you could see what we see You would want to go where we're going, just to be where we'll be In the presence of more than a baby boy The Lord who can save you and save me Or maybe if it's still not clear Let wisemen open your eyes and take you there [Outro] I'm on the road, dog Got my backpack, maps and my road dogs If you could see what we see You would want to go where we're going, just to be where we'll be In the presence of more than a baby boy The Lord who can save you and save me Or maybe if it's still not clear Let wisemen open your eyes and take you there
