Jason Gray's rendition of the classic Christmas carol 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' retells the nativity story through a chain of witnesses. The night wind tells a lamb about a star, the lamb tells a shepherd boy about a song, the shepherd boy tells a king about a child in the cold, and the king urges everyone to pray for peace. The song emphasizes the birth of Jesus as the source of goodness and light, calling listeners to respond with gifts and prayers for peace. It captures the wonder and hope of Christmas, inviting all to recognize and share the good news.

Do you hear what I hear?
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 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? (Do you hear what I hear?)
Ringin' through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the 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
We should bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say (listen to what I say)
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
Listen to what I say (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
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
