Follow The Light Lyrics

Late in the year when the calendar's thin

Early afternoon is when the sun goes in,

And you're chilled to the bone by the wintry wind,

Tryin' to shake off the cold,

When most of your day is as dark as the night,

The best you can do is to follow the light,

And think of the tales of how the star shone bright

Back in the days of old.

Like a long time ago in a far away land

Three wise men came over the sand

With animals and treasure in their traveling band,

Across the beautiful earth.

Up in the sky high over them

They saw the glimmer of a heavenly gem,

And followed it all the way to Bethlehem,

To witness the glorious birth.

They followed the light like they followed their hearts

It only took one step for their journey to start,

Ohh-ohhh, they followed the light

They followed the light from the star aloft

Their stride was wide but their steps were soft

They made it to the manger on that holy night

Because they followed the light.

Gaspar and Melchior and Balthasar,

Arrive at last from their homes afar,

Gold and frankincense and myrrh,

Are the gifts they bring.

They knelt on the ground before the mother and child,

Bowed their heads and prayed for awhile,

For the problems of the world to be reconciled,

With the birth of a king.

In a dream they saw there was trouble ahead,

Herod wanted all of the Innocents dead,

So they took the back road home instead,

And that's why we sing:

Follow the light like you follow your heart

It only takes one step for a journey to start,

Ohh-ohhh, follow the light

Follow the light from the star aloft

Your stride is wide but your steps are soft

You'll get where you're going, you'll be alright,

If you follow the light,

If you follow the light,

If you follow the light.
