Lyrics Have You Seen the Child - Al Jarreau

Have You Seen the Child

Have you seen the child, oh oh
Have you seen the child, yeah yeah
Have you seen the child
Have you seen the child
Tell me have you seen the child
Have you seen the child
You know I dare face the devil
I’m gonna search all my faith
I’m keepin' my eyes on all the silver
In the vine
And you know I danced the dance of David
Bringin' the news to Goliath
And ridin' on a sweet bird
Singin' have you seen the child
And all the saints say
Have you seen the child
Have you seen the child
Have you seen the bright fires
In the night
Know that I danced the dance of David
Bringin' the news to Goliath
Ridin' the sweet bird
Singin' have you seen the child
Oh have you seen the child
Trouble across the Kingdom
See how the rivers droop and rise
Well all your wars and ruin
Light the dragon’s eyes
You know that Cain don’t know the answer
He keeps a sword by his side
But I can remember singin'
Have you seen the child
Come on, you all
Singin' have you seen the child
Have you seen the child
Have you seen the bright fires
Bumin' in the night time
Know that I danced the dance of David
Bringin' the news to Goliath
Ridin' the sweet bird
Singin' have you seen the child
All the saints sayin'
Have you seen the child
Have you seen the child
Have you seen the sweet little baby
Oh I want to know, you all
Does it feel okay, yes
Oh like to know if you seen him
He were walkin' by the seashore, yes
Takin' to the elders, yes
Found him some fishermen
And made them disciples, oh
Preachin' in the temple, oh
He’s a fisherman, he’s a carpenter
Did you see the sweet little baby
Have you seen the child
Tell me have you seen the child
