Said the night wind to the little lamb,
"do you see what i see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what i see?
A 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?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what i hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
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 hear what i hear?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you hear what i hear?
A 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,
"listen to what i say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
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"
