Do You Hear What I hear?

[Gothic Sponge]

I'm Sorry, but there must have been drugs involved when writing this.


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

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

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

The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night

He will bring us goodness and light

He will bring us goodness and light

1. And also a plea for peace.

"But Regney wrote it as a clear and plaintive plea for peace at the time
of the Cuban missile crisis, in October 1962."

"I am amazed that people can think they know the song - and not know it
is a prayer for peace," Regney said in an interview in 1985. "But we
are so bombarded by sound and our attention spans are so short that we
now listen only to catchy beginnings."
