Who has lit the starlight
That’s shining bright in your eyes? 
Who has lit the darkness
For the shepherds on this night? 
Who has placed the straw crown
That sits upon your small brow?
Who has brought the wise men
To the stable, 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 you truly heaven
Lying cradled in my arms?

Why the tears you’re crying?
What has made you frightened?
Why do your little fingers
Hold so tightly Mama’s hair?
See the dancing shadows
Feel how soft the wind blows
It’s following an angel
That was only just there

Are you one of many more
Or the one they’re waiting for?, etc.

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 on earth be blessed

Are you one of many more
Or the one they’re waiting for?, etc.

Who has lit the starlight
That’s shining bright in your eyes 
Shining like a diamond
Over little Bethlehem….
