I was doing time in Salvation Park
Up on the high rope, me your ace of hearts
Just when I thought I was so special
I thought I had it all
You take a wrong step
Before you fall and you're--

Stumbling to Bethlehem
In this absence of light
Stumbling to Bethlehem
Don't worry darling
Yeah, don't think twice

Now there's this man on the corner
In a long black sweater saying
"Sinners they will burn forever!"
Well, I must be guilty of something
Some price I forgot to pay
I must have done somebody wrong
Somewhere along the way
That keeps me--

Stumbling to Bethlehem
In this absence of light
I'm stumbling to Bethlehem
Don't worry darling
Yeah, don't think twice
Stumbling to Bethlehem
I'm stumbling to Bethlehem
Now, you can count up all your blessings
You can count up every curse
But you never really know
Which is better and which is worse
So you try to do right
But it gets so rough
There's always someone to remind you that you're just not good enough
And you're

Stumbling to Bethlehem
In this absence of light
I'm stumbling to Bethlehem
Don't worry darling
Yeah, don't think twice
Don't worry darling
Yeah, it's all right

I'm stumbling to Bethlehem
Stumbling to Bethlehem
Stumbling...
I'm stumbling (to Bethlehem)
I'm a-stumbling (to Bethlehem)
I'm a-stumbling (to Bethlehem)
