Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One dark night
Something said follow the light
So you look up and see the world
That's written upon the sky
[Verse 2]
Strong and wise
Keeping the Lord as your guide
And through the doubt, you realize
He's with you all the while
[Verse 3]
Follow that star above you
Should the world try to break you down
There is one who waits for you
Though you can't see Him now
[Verse 4]
Thunder and rain surrounds you
But His love's just a breath away
If you follow your heart
Follow the light
Follow that star
[Verse 5]
Shining bright, the spirit of love at first site
And when the door won't welcome you
Heaven will help you inside
Gather round, bearing the gifts to the crown
A miracle comes, the baby's born and angels are heard on high
[Verse 6]
Follow that star above you
Should the world try to break you down
There is one who waits for you
Though you can't see Him now
[Verse 7]
Thunder and rain surrounds you
But His love's just a breath away
If you follow your heart
Follow the light
Follow that star
[Verse 8]
Follow that voice you heard that no one else believes
Follow the dream that brought the king on Christmas Eve
[Verse 9]
Follow that star above you
Should the world try to break you down
There is one who waits for you
Though you can't see Him now
[Verse 10]
Thunder and rain surrounds you
But His love's just a breath away
If you follow the voice
Follow the song
Follow the world that makes you strong
[Verse 11]
Follow your heart, follow the light, follow that star
