Said the night wind to the little lamb
do you see what I see? ( do you see what I see? )
Way up in the sky, little lamb
do you see what I see ( do you see what I see? )

star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite!

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )

song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea!

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
do you know what I know? ( do you know what I know? )
In your palace warm, mighty king
do you know what I know? ( do you know what I know? )

Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold!

Said the king to the people everywhere ( said the king to the people everywhere! )
listen to what I say ( listen to what I say! )
Pray for peace, people everywhere ( pray for peace, people everywhere! )
listen to what I say ( listen to what I say! )

The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light!

Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
