Little one, look around at
the strangers
Guided here, by a great star in the night
Look around, at these gifts laid before you
Brought to a King, who would set the world right
Little one, listen close to the angels
Sent to watch over you from Heaven above
Listen close, and you'll hear a Mother's heart
Beating proudly for you, out of love
As the choir of angels sing, the Heaven's will ring
There's true love shining in a Mother's eye
On this holiest night, her arms they hold you tight
As she hums this holy lullaby
Little one, take no heed where you're lying
The world does not yet understand
Take no heed for the things some will cast your way
As you journey one day across far away lands
Little one, feel the love of this moment
Keep it locked in your heart all of your days
Feel the love, and like a seed go and plant it well
And watch it grow, through your will and your ways
You were delivered like a stranger, hidden in a tiny manger
The animals were there for your very first cry
And they bowed down to you, as so many will do
And heard this holy lullaby
We really do believe, how a virgin did conceive
It's a miracle, no one can deny
You are the chosen one, you're God's only son
And so we sing to you this holy lullaby
Go to sleep now, you precious holy child
