Bright Star Cast

(album: Non-Secure Connection - 2020)

Here we are at last
Light of our bright star is cast
Moving inexorably, insistently
Moving to free
Out of a hard past
Now our bright star is cast
Now we stand at last, post-impasse
Triumphantly

It's supposed to blast away
Intermittently throughout the day
My internal weather feels in sync
I feel at one with an inclement link
I don't know but I've been told
Trials are one more river crossed
For the humble, meek and bold
For the humble, meek and bold

Here we are at last
Light of our bright star is cast
Moving inexorably, insistently
Moving to free

No matter what you do then
I'm determined to feel fully human
Through unique, bold, arresting self-expression
We'll create our own names, own songs, own style
Our way to be free and wild, wild

We are all wanderers
We are diaspora bound
We all strive and strain, through hail and rain
Songs louder than bombs

Here we are at last
Light of our bright star is cast
Moving inexorably, insistently
Moving to free
