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 straw crown that sits upon your small brow? Who has brought the wise men to the 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 truly heaven laying cradle in my arms?
Why the tears you're crying? What has made you frightened? Why do your tiny fingers so tightly momma's hair? See the dancing shadows, feel how soft the wind blows It's following an angel that was just there
Are you one of many more or the one they're waiting for? 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 with only love and gentleness Wherever time may take you I will 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 little child so close to my heart Have I given you in birth to be the treasure of 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
