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"
