performed by Bailey Coppola

It was on a night like this
a little babe was born

the Shepards gathered 'round
to guard him 'til the dawn

Above them shown a star
A star so wondrous light

that never since in all these years
have we seen one half so bright

shining so truly
shining so brightly
guiding their footsteps
from above

It lead them through the night

a path to love and brotherhood
by following it's light

Oh come with us tonight
and join us on our way

for we have found again that star
to greet a better day

For though throughout our land
men search the skies in vain

yet tender glance within in their heart
they would fine that star again

Shining so truly
Shining so brightly
Guiding their footsteps
from above

It lead them through the night

A path to love and brotherhood
By following it's light
