I love the sounds of Christmas
You hear them everywhere
Jingle bells and sweet old songs
That warm the chilly air

But my favorite sound of Christmas
Is late on Christmas Eve
I look up in a sea of stars
A quiet comes over me
In this moment — something happens
I truly do believe
Christ is born in me

The sound of Christmas
The shepherds heard
The same bright stars
The same soft word
The sound of Christmas
The sound of peace
The sound when Christ is born in me

(Harmony part)

Do you hear the sound of Christmas?
Sing it loudly —   sing it clear
Do you hear the sound of Christmas?
If you listen — You will hear
