Caravan Lyrics

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
