Intro:
Verse 1:
Who has lit the starlight that shine so bright in your eyes?
How has lit the darkness for the shephards on this night?
How has places the strow crown that sits upon your smal brow?
Who has brought the wise man to the stable, presious child?
Chorus:
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?
Verse 2:
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
Chorus:
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?

Verse 3:
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
Chorus:
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
