Lyrics[]

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
(2x) 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
(2x) With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy, to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace, warm mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
(2x) 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
(2x) He will bring us goodness and light
