Starlight

A Living Sky cuts across a perfect night
I’m lying still underneath a billion lights
And somewhere out beyond the span of space and time
Starlight shelter’s peace of mind
A new dawn breaks as the Sun begins to rise
Giving birth to hopeful dreams
Of bigger cities where the music never ends
And where they’d come to know my name
A course of fortune and of fame
Standing up to play the game
Ten-thousand miles, and taking a step
Chasing a dream, desires are set
But as I stood amidst the city on my own
I looked above, couldn’t see the Starlight
And I was lost
Somewhere out there, I thought I heard my name
The world turned from night to day
So I looked out on the city as it changed
Starlight’s fading away
Starlight’s fading away
Starlight's fading away
Starlight's fading away

Well the sunrise gleams bright over the Wheatland
And the big Living Sky leads on for miles
And not a thing to cross my mind in the stillness so sublime
That could turn me away from that Old Prairie Road
It wasn’t just a way back home, it was a way of life
Everything I ever was or thought could become
Just an old gravel road heading southbound
At a turnoff sign, “head East on Hwy 1”
When I hit the open road back in ’14
And I took that ol’ Trans Am out in the Sun
And when my dad gave me the keys to her before I left all on my own
He said, “Don’t you worry son, I’ll be here when you get home.”
And I can still hear his voice, I can still see his face
The depth of a father’s love - held strong for his son
And he kept his word true from all those years ago
When I came back home a-rolling on Hwy 1
Well the highway led on and my love was growing strong
As I drove on my way back to you
And I had brought the ring with me, to ask if you’d agree
And you were saying ‘yes’ as I got down on my knee
Don’t know where the road will go, don’t know what the future holds
I guess we’ll find our way when all is said and done
So we’ll go hand in hand, and take it day by day
As we set off on the road down Hwy 1
Yeah we’ll set off on the road down Hwy 1
We can find our way somewhere on Hwy 1

Well I was standing on a railway platform down in Ingersoll
And I was thinking ‘bout a pretty girl I knew from years ago
Ah, I used to know her name
I guess some things are always bound to change
And I was kicking back with my friends and talking about the day
As we walked on the rocky shores over at Humber’s Bay
Ah, so many words I could have said
What good are feelings when they’re kept inside my head?
And all the people I meet, all the places I go
Turning me into the man that I know
In every moment, I’m never alone
For I know
This is Home
Well I was driving down the T-C Highway and chasing orange skies
“Bobcaygeon” came on the radio and tears filled my eyes
Ah, I’ve had it on my mind
But something about it seemed so different this time
And I was kneeling at the foot of my bed and praying for a friend
And I was asking the Lord above, “Please, let him walk again”
They said he wouldn’t live that day
But he stood up on his own just today
And all the people I meet, all the places I go
Turning me into the man that I know
In every moment, I’m never alone
For I know
This is Home
Yeah, this is Home
I was reading the Sunday news and sipping on coffee
When I saw that old man’s photo smiling back at me
Ah, seems like just yesterday
I spoke with him, he had so much left to say
Well I was sitting on a park bench somewhere along that Speedy Creek
And I was thinking to myself, “Why’d I ever have to leave?”

Another day, coming to a peaceful close
The daylight fades as the Sun sets below
So I looked out on the city one more time
And prayed a prayer to God on High
To rest this weary heart of mine
Have I known it all this time?
Ten-thousand miles (Ten-thousand miles)
In the blink of an eye (Years flying by)
And one sweet dream (Dreamt through this day)
No tears to cry (No tears to cry)
In the cool of the evening late one June
(I walked outside)
And I saw the Starlight
And I knew
I was home
I’m coming home (Starlight) (Coming home)
I'm coming home (Starlight) (Coming home)
I'm coming home (Starlight) (Coming home)
I'm coming home (Starlight) (Coming home)
Coming home (Starlight) (Coming home)
