Who has lit the starlight that shines so bright in your eyes? |
|
Who has lit the darkness for the shepherds on this night? |
|
Who has placed the straw crown that sits upon your small brow? |
|
Who has brought the wise men to the stable, precious child? |
|
Are you one of many more or the one they're waiting for? |
|
You my little child so close to my heart |
|
Have I given you in birth to be the treasure of the earth? |
|
Are you truly heaven laying cradle in my arms? |
|
Why the tears you're crying? What has made you frightened? |
|
Why do your tiny fingers hold so tightly momma's hair? |
|
See the dancing shadows, feel how soft the wind blows |
|
It's following an angel that was only just there |
|
Are you one of many more or the one they're waiting for? |
|
You my little child so close to my heart |
|
Have I given you in birth to be the treasure of the earth? |
|
Are you truly heaven laying cradle in my arms? |
|
May you greet all others as sisters and as brothers |
|
And may you be received with only love and gentleness |
|
Wherever time may take you I will not forsake you |
|
Grant this mother's prayer that your days of mirth be blessed |
|
Are you one of many more or the one they're waiting for? |
|
You my little child so close to my heart |
|
Have I given you in birth to be the treasure of the earth? |
|
Are you truly heaven laying cradle in my arms? |
|
Who has lit the starlight that's shining bright in your eyes? |
|
Shining like a diamond over little Bethlehem |
