Bob Dylan's rendition of this classic carol transforms it into a poignant call for awareness and unity. Each verse, progressing from the night wind to the king, symbolizes an escalating chain of communication about a profound truth—the birth of a child destined to bring peace and light into the world. This sequence not only amplifies the message but also underscores our shared responsibility: to recognize and respond to significant events around us. By urging listeners to pray for peace and offer support, Dylan emphasizes that positive change hinges on collective action and empathy, making this song as much a plea for compassion as it is a celebration of hope reborn in troubled times.
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Lyrics
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
