Starlight from IMMINENT by Gary Innes

Verse 1
Before the turn of a wheel
The pioneer had roamed
Their faith and intuition
Led shorelines we call home
Our pedigree and legacy
The class that we’ve amassed
The veins that weave across our palms
The blood that shaped our past

(Chorus)
Follow the starlight
Follow the glow
It’s not about hindsight
You reap what you sow
There’s a star for every year,
A smile for every tear
You shed and cast along this rocky road

(Verse 2)
At the Chorriechoillie falls
It’s easy to forget
The silver bars wait to spawn
Life constantly in threat
From the pirate and the poacher
From the toby to the net
One by one each year they run
A charted silhouette

(Chorus)
They follow the starlight
Follow the glow
It’s not about hindsight
You reap what you sow
There’s a star for every year,
A smile for every tear
You shed and cast along this rocky road

(Middle 8)
Commanders on the open sea
Sought solar to uphold
The journey of migration
Constellations controlled
Polaris, Enif, Vega, Castor,
Algol, Alsephina
The watchful eyes of our skies
Majestic ballerinas

(Verse 3)
The early exploration
From our guidance reservoir
The white chalk on the rock
Now ink in old memoirs
The book is still being written
And in our hands we hold,
The keys to life’s tapestry
Chapter new and old

(Chorus)
Just follow the starlight
Follow the glow
It’s not about hindsight
You reap what you sow
There’s a star for every year,
A smile for every tear
You shed and cast along
this rocky road
