Do You Hear What I Hear?

Sufjan Stevens

Compositor: Gloria Shayne / Noel Regney

Do you see what i see?

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"

Do you see what i see, now?

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"

Do you see what i see, now?

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"

Do you see what i see, now?

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"

Do you see what i see, now?

Do you feel what i feel, now?
(like i do)
( i need you to trust me, to feel you)

Do you see what i see?
Now
