Sure he must have been surprised

At where this road had taken him

'Cause never in a million lives

Would he had dreamed of bethlehem

And standing at the manger

He saw with his own eyes

The message from the angel come to life

And Joseph said why me

I'm just a simple man of trade

Why him with all the rulers in the world

Why here inside this stable filled with hay

Why her she's just an ordinary girl

Now I'm not one to second guess what angels have to say

But this is such a strange way to save the world

To think of how it could have been

If Jesus had come as he deserved

There would have been no bethlehem

No lowly shepherds at his birth

But Joseph knew the reason

Love had to reach so far

And as he held the savior in his arms

He must have thought why me

I'm just a simple man of trade

Why him with all the rulers in the world

Why here inside this stable filled with hay

Why her she's just an ordinary girl

Now I'm not one to second guess what angels have to say

But this is such a strange way to save the world

Now I'm not one to second guess what angels have to say

But this is such a strange way

Yeah such a strange way

I know it's such a strange way

To save the world
