Do You Hear What I Hear  Listen

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the night, 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 know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king,
do you know what I know
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
A child, a child, sleeping in the night,
he will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
