Chorus / Description : Do You Hear What I Hear? is a Christmas song about the message of peace and hope brought by the birth of Jesus. While not explicitly biblical, it reflects the themes of the Nativity story and the call for people to listen and pray for peace.
Do you hear what I hear?
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 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? (Do you hear what I hear?)
Ringin' through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear? (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 know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a child shivers in the cold
We should bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say (listen to what I say)
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
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
