Do you hear what I hear?
A voice
A voice
Singing in the night
Soothing children who were left with no choice
Do you know the angels wish to hold you tight
See the dreams dancing in the night
Do you hear what I hear?
Kindness from the old, who learned
Is not about riches nor the gold
A voice
A voice
Goodness comes from the skies of silent nights
Up in the sky, far up high
Illusions as large as the evening sky
Shepherd’s seeking peace far from sea
A voice
From the royal King of Edessa
Even he knows the how to soothe and embrace
Do you see what I see?
Seeing the child in the night
Saving him from any devils fright
Do you really hear what I hear?
