I see a star and it's softly shining
On the hillside so quiet and bright
Star of wonder! Star of my childhood
In all my lifetime, the one clear light
And when the way is dark, my heart
Is like a stone
It's calling me to find, to find the way back home

Oh, I will follow my guiding star!
You bring me light, shine on me tonight!
Follow my guiding star and for all time
Forever shine for all mankind!
Oh! Show us the way back home!

I see a star, star of the morning
Over every country, over every land
Star of freedom, star of a new birth
For every woman, every child and man
And as the candles all light up
And the Sun starts to glow
I can see a new road shining, and it's time for us to go

Oh, I will follow my guiding star!
You bring me light, shine on me tonight!
Follow my guiding star and for all time
Forever shine for all mankind!
Oh! Show us the way back home!

And when the way is dark, my heart
Is like a stone
It's calling me to find, to find the way back home

Oh, I will follow my guiding star!
You bring me light, shine on me tonight!
Follow my guiding star for all mankind!
Oh! Show us the way back home!

Follow my guiding star for all mankind!
Show us the way back home!

Oh, I will follow my guiding star!
Oh! Show us the way back home!
