Summary: A response to the Christmas Filk Challenge on the Fanfic Messageboards.

Disclaimers: I don't own any of the characters from Lois & Clark. DC Comics owns the copyright to Superman, as far as I know. Also, I did not write the lyrics to the Christmas carol, "What Child is This." That credit goes to William Chatterton Dix.

***

What child is this who comes to us
through twilight skies and falling stars?
Whose spaceship shines 'neath bright starlight,
having traveled from afar?

This, this is the child Kal-El,
who escaped death thanks to Jor-El.
His fate is to guard our Earth,
not the Krypton of his birth.

His spaceship lies in a Kansas field
where soon the Kents will find him,
and they will raise him as their son —
thus Clark Kent's tale begins.

Though villains will do their best to win,
Superman won't fail.
The Man of Steel will save the day,
and evil doers will quail.
