lyrics

CELESTIAL NAVIGATION
BACK BEFORE THE COMPASS, WHEN MAPS WERE NOT THE BEST
CELESTIAL NAVIGATION PUT SAILORS TO THE TEST
WHEN CHARTED DESTINATION WERE SOMETIMES HARD TO FIND
THEY SET A COURSE AND SAID A PRAYER
THAT THE STARS WOULD SHINE

WHEN THEY FOUND THE POWER TO NAVIGATE THE SEA
THEY CONQUERED FEAR AND RAISED THE SAILS TO A FRESHENING BREEZE
TO GO WHERE NO ONE’S GONE BEFORE BECAME THEIR DESTINY
AND FAR BEYOND THEIR HEARTH AND HOME, THESE WORDS BECAME OUR CREED
CHORUS:
TRUST THE STARS IN THE SKY, ‘CAUSE THE HEAVENS NEVER LIE
KEEP THOSE CONSTANT CONSTELLATIONS IN YOUR SIGHTS.
THE SOUTHERN CROSS AND THE NORTHERN STAR WILL SHOW YOU WERE YOU ARE
LET CELESTIAL NAVIGATION BE YOUR GUIDE, BE YOUR GUIDE.

IT’S NOT HARD TO IMAGINE WHAT THOSE EARLY SAILORS FELT
WHEN A GALE WOULD BLOW THEM OFF THEIR COURSE AND THE STARS WOULD BE NO HELP
SOME OF THEM WOULD CURSE THEIR LUCK AND SOME OF THEM WOULD PRAY
SOME WOULD CALL FOR THE CAPTAIN AND THE CAPTAIN HE WOULD SAY
LIKE THOSE EARLY SAILORS WE SOMETIMES LOSE OUR WAY
BUT WE LOOK FOR OUR DIRECTION MUCH DIFFERENTLY TODAY
NOW WE HAVE THE COMPASS AND SATELLITES IN SPACE
BUT WE STILL RELY UPON THE SKY TO HELP US FIND OUR PLACE.
