Third Day's rendition of "Do You Hear What I Hear" is a classic Christmas carol that tells the story of the birth of Jesus through a chain of witnesses. The night wind sees a star and tells the lamb, the lamb tells the shepherd boy about a song, the shepherd boy tells the king about a child shivering in the cold, and the king urges everyone to pray for peace because the child will bring goodness and light. The song emphasizes the humble circumstances of Jesus' birth and the call to respond with gifts and prayers for peace.

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 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
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
He will bring us goodness and light
