Said the deaf man to the little lad
Do you hear what I don't
All the sounds around little lad,
Do you hear what I don't
A bird, a bird
Chirping from above
With a song as sweet as true love
With a song as sweet as true love

Said the little lad to the little girl
Do you hear what he don't
When raindrops trickle, little girl
Do you hear what he don't
The wind, the wind,
Blowing on the snow
Please tell him the nice sounds we know
Please tell him the nice sounds we know

Said the little girl to the traffic cop
Do you hear what he don't
When the motors roar traffic cop,
Do you hear what he don't
The cars, the cars
Humming down the street
Or the passersby shuffling feet
All the passersby shuffling feet

Said the cop to the people by the mall
Listen to what he don't
Thank the lord you can hear it all
Listen to what he don't
The wondrous sounds,
This great world can make
Hearing's not, for granted, to take
Hearing's not, for granted, to take

What wondrous sounds,
This great world can make
Hearing's not, for granted, to take
