Starfield's rendition of the classic Christmas carol "Angels We Have Heard on High" celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. The song retells the angelic announcement to shepherds, inviting listeners to journey to Bethlehem and worship the newborn King. It emphasizes the joy and wonder of the nativity, with the repeated refrain "Gloria, in excelsis Deo!" praising God in the highest. The lyrics call believers to adore Christ, who is laid in a manger, and to join in the chorus of angels. This version brings a contemporary worship feel to a timeless hymn, focusing on the incarnation and the glory of God.

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
"Gloria, in excelsis Deo!"
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ, whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King
"Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!"
See Him in a manger, laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love, we raise
"Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!"
