To the stars we will turn when the earth has been spent
To the stars when our bones have grown thin
To the stars in a vessel that’s crumpled and bent
To the stars in a bucket of tin
I’ve sometimes stayed late in the office I work
The parking lot empty and dark
They say that with faith you can light up the world
I never could capture that spark
To the stars we will turn when the earth has grown cold
To the stars when our bodies won’t heal
To the stars in a vessel that’s battered and old
To the stars in a bucket of steel
I’ve sometimes gone driving when sleep won’t come
The wind brushing clouds through the night
They say there’s a power that urges us higher
One way or other, they’re right
To the stars we will turn when the earth has run dry
To the stars when the sun isn’t there
To the stars go the primates who learned how to fly
To the stars in a bucket of prayer
I’ve traced out constellations
I’ve read my future in the sky
We’ve planted flags on moon rocks
We’ve left graffiti in the sky
We speak a thousand languages
We build a tower to the sky…
The sky is ours, the sky is ours
Next to the stars, next to the stars...
