Lyrics
Do you hear what I hear? (Hear what I hear)
Asking if the listener perceives the same thing
Said the night wind to the little lamb
The night wind asking the lamb a question
Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?)
Questioning the lamb's observation
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Referring to something high in the sky
Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?)
Repeating the question regarding observation
A star, a star, dancing in the night
Describing a star that moves gracefully in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
Emphasizing the size of the star's tail
With a tail as big as a kite
Reiteration of the tail's size
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Dialogue between the lamb and shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
Questioning the shepherd about hearing something
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Describing a sound echoing through the sky
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
Repeating the question about hearing
A song, a song high above the trees
Depicting a song heard high above
With a voice as big as the sea
Emphasizing the grandeur of the voice
With a voice as big as the sea
Reiteration of the voice's magnitude
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Interaction between the shepherd boy and a king
Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know, know what I know)
Inquiring whether the king is aware of something
In your palace warm, mighty king
Referencing the king's warm palace
Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know, know what I know)
Repeating the question directed at the king
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Highlighting a child's suffering in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Expressing the intention to bring gifts to the child
Let us bring him silver and gold
Reiteration of the intention to bring gifts
Said the king to the people everywhere
King addressing the people universally
Listen to what I (listen) say (to what I say)
Urging people to listen to the king's words
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Requesting prayers for peace worldwide
Listen to what I (listen) say (to what I say)
Repeating the plea to heed the king's words
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
Describing the child peacefully asleep at night
He will bring us goodness and light
Belief in the child bringing positive things to humanity
He will bring us goodness and light
Reiteration of the child's positive impact
