Caravan

O - it was a snowy night

The caravan traveling across the desert land

The stars were hanging heavy in the absence of light

And you were there and I

And something in our hearts told us to keep moving

Because there was something about that star

That Star ...

How far is the nearest place to kneel?

How far is the nearest throne?

How far how far can you go with only a dream?

With only a hope?

You take the vision and you hold it steady

Right ahead of you across the ranges across the plains

The desert land the gaze of strangers

That is how ... Hold It Steady

There was always someone who would

Take the children and keep them entertained

There was always someone who would

Lay down their work to play the children's games

There was always someone who would

know how things worked

They'd say ...THERE. Where? OVER THERE.

And now as we sit on the steps

at the side of the square

There are three wise men

sitting in their chairs

If anyone wants to know

which way any of us should go

They will hold they will contain

they will cup the refrain

Hold It Steady - take the vision - Hold It Steady

right ahead of you right between the eyes.

THAT is how.

O - It was a snowy night

and our caravan moved along

through this yet unholy land -

you were there and I was there

two desert boys - we did not understand

we only knew that something grand was happening

that Star ... that night
