lyrics

THE ONE WHO READ THE STARS
Sherri Beck / Maia Sharp

The perspective shift, the tide, the drift
Won’t take one day for granted
If you’ve ever heard that single word
You know it leaves you feeling stranded
Paralyzed with fear, how did I get here
I just don’t understand it

And now the one who read the stars
The young quartermaster
Is steering us to the other side of this disaster
The joy the tears, the uncharted waters we’re in
But oh, for me there’s nobody better than him
To be at the helm again

30 years gone by since he looked to the sky
And all the constellations
Aw but North is true, he’s no stranger to
A change in destinations
He’s a strong course of trust and love
And endless dedication
All the way to the shores of celebration

The one who read the stars
The young quartermaster
Is steering us to the other side of this disaster
The joy the tears, the uncharted waters we’re in
But oh, for me there’s nobody better than him
To be at the helm again

I’m letting go, letting others do what I’ve always done
Giving up the controls and taking my walk in the sun

While the one who read the stars
The young quartermaster
Is steering us to the other side of this disaster
The joy the tears, the uncharted waters we’re in
But oh, for me there’s nobody better than him
To be at the helm again
