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
With a tail as big as a kite
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? (do you know what I know)
In your palace warm, 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
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Do you know what I know?
Do you see what I see?
Do you hear what I hear?

@singdanceandact4evr I read somewhere that they show up in the second part of Season 3 but they will be on show. I think they want to spread the winners out evenly instead of jamming it all in 7 ep. I believe i got from Glee Wiki
