Anthony Evans performs a soulful rendition of the classic Christmas carol 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' The song tells the story of the nativity through a chain of conversations, from the night wind to a little lamb, then to a shepherd boy, a mighty king, and finally to the people. Each character shares the miraculous news of a star, a song, and a child born in humble circumstances. The lyrics emphasize the significance of the Christ child, who brings goodness and light to the world, and call for peace and generosity. Evans' version highlights the wonder and hope of the Christmas story.

Said the night wind to the little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night,
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite.
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as a sea
With a voice as big as a sea.
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A child, a child, shivers in the cold,
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold.
Said the king to the people everywhere,
Listen to what I say,
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
Listen to what I say.
The child, the child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light.
