Follow the Star

**Follow the Star** is a song inspired by the 2003 Spanish animated film, *The 3 Wise Men* (*Los Reyes Magos*). The song was included only in the 2005 Buena Vista Home Entertainment release of *The 3 Wise Men* and was not included in the original Spanish release of the film, where it is heard during the end of the film, performed simultaneously in English and Spanish by José Luis Rodríguez (who also participated as one of the voices in the English and Latin American Spanish versions on the Buena Vista release of the film), replacing the instrumental score from the original Spanish release heard during the end credits. A music video with José Luis Rodríguez performing the song was also released which was used to promote the film's home video release on November 1, 2005 and was also included on the North American album released by EMI Latin.

The song itself tells the story of the Three Wise Men, Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar, who were guided by the Star of Bethlehem and traveled very far to worship the Child Jesus in the town of Bethlehem, having faced many challenges as the Wise Men reach Bethlehem to worship the newborn king.

Follow

Follow the light

Follow the Star to Bethlehem (to Bethlehem)

Follow

Follow the light (Follow the light)

Follow the Star to Bethlehem

From afar, three wise men walking

Every light in their way

Hills and mountain they'll be crossing

Carrying gifts for the King

Through the desert, through cold nights

Guided by a shining star

Embraced by a peaceful silence

An angel's voice will be heard from the sky

Follow

Follow the light

Follow the Star that will lead to the Child

Follow

Follow the Star

Follow the Star that will lead to the Child

Follow

Follow the light

Follow the Star that will lead to the Child

Follow

Follow

Follow the light

Three wise men, kings from the East

In a journey to worship the King

Filling joy of bringing the treasures

To the Newborn that will bring us peace

From the angels through the skies

Voices raising rejoice all night

The new king is in our presence

Bringing joy to all our hearts

Follow

Follow the light

Follow the Star that will lead to the Child

Follow

Follow the Star

Follow the Star that will lead to the Child

Follow

Follow the light

Follow the Star that will lead to the Child

Follow

Follow (So won't you follow that star?)

Follow the light...

Follow

Follow the light

Follow

Follow the light

Sigan

Sigan la luz

Sigan la Estrella hasta Belén (hasta Belén)

Sigan

Sigan la luz (Oh...)

Sigan la Estrella hasta Belén

Desde Oriente van andando

Una luz los guiará

Cruzarán aldeas, pueblos

Porque el nuevo Rey nacerá

Contra vientos, noches, días

El desierto cruzarán

En los brazos del silencio

La voz de un ángel les advertirá

Sigan

Sigan la Estrella

Que hasta Jesús los guiará

Sigan

Sigan la luz

Que hasta Jesús los guiará

Sigan

Sigan la Estrella

Que hasta Jesús los guiará

Sigan

Sigan

Sigan la luz

Tres sabios, tres Reyes Magos

Traen regalos para el Rey

Con la esperanza entre las manos

Al pesebre llegarán

Desde Oriente van andando

Una luz los guiará

La alegría viene al mundo

En los brazos de la paz

Sigan

Sigan la Estrella

Que hasta Jesús los guiará

Sigan

Sigan la luz (Sigan la luz)

Que hasta Jesús los guiará

Sigan

Sigan la Estrella

Que hasta Jesús los guiará

Sigan

Sigan

Sigan la luz (Sigan la luz)

Sigan

Sigan la luz

Sigan

Sigan la luz
