one star

    we reach and hope for the one shining star
    this is the only purpose we can know
    only the open heart can go so far

    so many things to make us what we are
    a single river twisting in its flow
    we reach and hope for the one shining star

    you put the blinking insect in the jar
    and laugh to see the glass refract the glow
    only the open heart can go so far

    no one regards the tune on the guitar
    as just a gift that goodness might bestow
    we reach and hope for the one shining star

    instead we have the driver in the car
    another one who worries that she's slow
    only the open heart can go so far

    we think the truest forms of life bizarre
    and do not steel ourselves to take the blow
    we reach and hope for the one shining star
    only the open heart can go so far
