I was only a lamb myself
all the animals made their noises
I said baaaaa
the cow said moooo
the dogs all barked
the cats meowed
the mother smiled
the baby cried

I was there that night
the strange light bloomed
and the babe was born
I watched
the animals watch
the mother watch
the baby cry

my wool began to curl
as voices sang from far away
I listened
and the cows listened
the dogs listened
the cats listened
the mother listened
If the whole world had listened
maybe the baby
wouldn’t have cried
