Stars Along the Way

Some who slow to look might see A face within the crowd Shrouded, bowing quietly she prays Moving silent as the mist Through birds and muffled bells Fortunes told for all who choose to stay And she will whisper as you go There's something you must know The stars along the way will guide you They'll shine down through your days Your days Called beyond the farthest reaches Scattered on the wind Cast out on the land so long ago Shattered lives like puzzle pieces Cursed by God again She told me as I turned toward the road Imagine how the world could be If only you would see The stars along the way will guide you (home) They'll shine down through your days Not blind you The stars along the way will guide you (home) They'll shine down through your days Your days Abandoned strangers lost In futures never planned Long past the point of no return Sold maps to heaven only angels understand Tossed on the fire they watch them burn So you walked to the well just to find it dry You could not drink so you passed it by And you didn't understand So you asked God why you're here (Why am I here?) Then you fell to the bottom From your perch at the top And you found yourself on the chopping block With your hands bound tight And your head bowed in the rain (head bowed in the rain...) Head bowed in the rain The stars along the way will guide you They'll shine down through your days Not blind you The stars along the way will guide you (home) They'll shine down through your days Not blind you The stars along the way will guide you (home) They'll shine down through your days Your days
