Each Star

Alex had 2:15 musical clip of EACH STAR on her site yesterday. I loved the song lyrics. They were hers, and for those of you who would like to hear her sing, get to NOTES FROM THE KELP and check it out. I begged her to post the complete song lyrics for the perusal and enjoyment of us all; and she graciously complied.

EACH STAR
©1999 Alex Shapiro (ASCAP)

Under a canopy of fog
Under the watchful eyes of foxes and coyotes
You make your way back home
It’s been a long and crazy week
You wonder what it is that keeps you on this road
You wonder why you feel alone

Each star in the night shines above to let you know
Your heart really will get it right
It seems so far from sight to think that soon the sky will glow
With light that will fill the dark as brightly as each star

Under the crash of angry tides
Lies a world of magic just beyond your toes
It’s hiding from your view
But if you know just where to look
Past the drama of the surface to the calm below
There’s a prize that waits for you

Each star in the sea holds on tight because it knows
The waves bring it just what it needs
Just like your heart on the line, clinging to the rocks of hope
That time will bring you love

So the hours turn to days that turn to questions
You turn around and there’s your life
Sometimes the most colorful of answers
Are safely hidden on the inside
And the ocean is a mirror for your soul
And the sky’s an open door
Just remember that the overwhelming tides
Bring cool water that will soothe your burning shore

It’s because your heart’s so deep
That you keep on heading down this endless path
Sometimes it makes you cry
But every rock you look beneath
Brings you closer to the treasures that you’ve always had
They never left your side

Each star in the night shines above to let you know
Your heart really will get it right
It seems so far from sight to think that soon the sky will glow with light
And your sun will rise
And you will know
And your heart will shine
As brightly as each star
