Little birds in the woods,
they know how to sing,
they know how to hide.
The Prince of Peace is here.
Of course Herod has heard,
his men are sharpening their swords.
The prince of peace is a four year old child
who will need feeding and protecting,
and long waiting.
But he is here,
among the forgotten, the overlooked,
blamed and at risk, but here.
In his being is his working.
He knows how to hide,
he knows how to sing.
