Do You Hear What I Hear?
Betterland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
(Do you hear what I hear?)
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
(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 wall Mighty King
Do you know what I know?
(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
(Listen to what I say)
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
(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!
The lyrics of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" by Betterland depict a conversation between different characters, each asking if the others perceive what they do. The song starts with the night wind speaking to a little lamb, asking if it sees a star in the sky. The star is described as dancing in the night with a tail as big as a kite, which conveys its brilliance and beauty. Symbolically, the star represents hope and guidance.
Next, the little lamb addresses a shepherd boy, asking if he hears the same thing. The boy confirms that he hears a song ringing through the sky, describing it as having a voice as big as the sea. This emphasizes the power and importance of the message conveyed by the song.
Then, the shepherd boy approaches the Mighty King, inquiring if he knows what the boy knows. The boy reveals that there is a child shivering in the cold, and suggests bringing him silver and gold. This part reflects compassion and the desire to bring comfort and warmth to those in need.
Finally, the Mighty King addresses the people, urging them to listen to his words. He asks them to pray for peace and emphasizes the significance of the child mentioned before. The King believes that this child, who is sleeping in the night, will bring goodness and light to the world.
