Text:
There is a star that we all wish to hold.
We don't have to be wise men, or bring gifts of Gold.
There is a rose, on a cold winter's night,
Breaking out through the snow, reaching up for the light.
The star on the horizon marks the treasure we seek,
A light of inspiration giving strength to the weak.
[Chorus]
Follow the star, won't you follow the star?
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Follow the star, won't you follow the star?
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
There is a star that we each hold so dear.
We don't have to tend sheep or have angels appear.
There is a mountain, though it's hard to climb,
If we put each foot forward we will reach it in time.
The star on the horizon marks the treasure we seek,
A light of inspiration giving strength to the weak.
[Chorus]
Follow the star, won't you follow the star?
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Follow the star, won't you follow the star?
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
