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 the straw crown that sits upon your small brow? Who has brought the wise men to the stable, precious child?
Are you one of more or the one they're waiting for? You my little child so close to my heart Have given you in birth to be the treasure of the earth? Are you truly heaven laying cradle in my arms?
Why the tears 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 there
Are you one of many more or the one they're waiting 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 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 of many more or the one they're waiting for? You my little so close to my heart Have I given you in birth to be the treasure of the earth? Are you truly heaven cradle in my arms?
Who has lit the starlight that's shining bright in your eyes? Shining like a diamond over little Bethlehem
