We’re following the star
To the stable
We’re following the star
In the sky
We’re following the star
To the stable
We’re gonna see the baby – Jesus Christ
First there were the shepherds
Sitting in the field
Working day and night
Looking after sheep
Then a group of angels
Came to them and said
Go and see the King
Born in Bethlehem
Then there were three wise men
Living far away
Wanted to see Jesus
Sleeping in the hay
They began their journey
And when they arrived
They gave special presents
What a nice surprise!
