O - it was a snowy night
The caravan traveling across the desert land The stars were hanging heavy in the absence of light And you were there and I And something in our hearts told us to keep moving Because there was something about that star That Star ... How far is the nearest place to kneel? How far is the nearest throne? How far how far can you go with only a dream? With only a hope? You take the vision and you hold it steady Right ahead of you across the ranges across the plains The desert land the gaze of strangers That is how ... Hold It Steady There was always someone who would Take the children and keep them entertained There was always someone who would Lay down their work to play the children's games There was always someone who would know how things worked They'd say ...THERE. Where? OVER THERE. And now as we sit on the steps at the side of the square There are three wise men sitting in their chairs If anyone wants to know which way any of us should go They will hold they will contain they will cup the refrain Hold It Steady - take the vision - Hold It Steady right ahead of you right between the eyes. THAT is how. O - It was a snowy night and our caravan moved along through this yet unholy land - you were there and I was there two desert boys - we did not understand we only knew that something grand was happening that Star ... that night |

would you go? or say it is a long and dusty road and your feet are bare and your throat is parched and you don't know where to go and a man stepped forward and said "would you go?" would you go? or it was a foreign land and the oars were dropped and a voice said "will you walk?" and you saw nothing would you go? oh my sweet sweet darling it's been a long long way down and it's been a long long long long time oh but I have found you and I cannot stand here and watch you go or say it was a long and winding path and your feet are bare and the road is rocky and you don't know where... and you want water there's a hole in the roof where the rain comes in |
