Stars Along the Way Songtext
von Pattern‐Seeking Animals

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
