I stole a ride on a passing star Not knowing where I was going How near or how far Through years of light, lands of future and past Until the heavenly gates Were sighted at last Starrider, rider, rider Take me to the stars Starrider, rider, rider Show me where you are Northern lights flashed by And then they were gone And as old stars would die So the new ones were born And ever on I sailed Celestial ways And in the light of my years Shone the rest of my days Speed increasing All control is in the hands of those who know Will they help us grow To one day be starriders Starrider, rider, rider Show me where you are Starrider, rider, rider Take me to the stars Speed increasing All control is in the hands of those who know Will they help us grow To one day be starriders
