TONIGHT'S CAPTAIN

​

Tell me the story how you came here by the sea
Describe your journey to me
Tell me about the ways you could not get it right
I’ll be your captain tonight

And though the stars don’t stay in place
They run a predictable race
But you don't need to worry or take flight
For you are a shining star
Perfect exactly where you are
Tonight

Tell me about the waves that crashed down left and right
Tall as buildings, dark as night
Tell me the glory days were more than they had seemed
Heroes and villains, kings and queens

And when the stars don’t stay in place
They run a predictable race
But we don’t need to worry or take flight
We are just shining stars
Perfect exactly where we are
Tonight

Tell me your worries and we'll send them out to sea
Lay all your troubles on me
And don't you be sorry for the ways they blocked your light
I'll be your captain tonight

And when the planets get in line
They say that we’ll feel it and we're fine
But are we all so separate from that light?
Or are we just shining stars
Perfect exactly where we are
Tonight
