The Shooting Star

  • On the first light of the day you march on
    Departure has arrived, don't look back
    Avoid the darkness, stay away, stay out of sight
    Until you feel the blast of a shooting star

    Following the spark like a rocket in the sky
    Between the bear and the scorpion, getting close
    Headed north, frozen land, where tigers go to die
    Don't fear the cold, it'll numb your memories out

    You are higher
    In the sky

    Learn the skill to stay alive, survival
    The city is so mean, you're being watched
    Reach the tunnel, light the torch, you're on the hunt
    Until the light calls you back into the wild

    When you get to the other side, please send a sign
    It'll fly through the atmosphere in time
    And if you hold the truth within your hands
    You won't be sent back, through the rain, reborn

    Everlasting love is ever-growing
    Hang on to what you have and let it grow
    Everlasting love is ever-dying
    It's in the past, you have to let it go Writer/s: Joseph Andrew Duplantier, Mario François Duplantier
