Star Singers

Mark Orr

last nite i dreaMt of travelers ...following A star
east to west they journeyed ...Gifts in caskets and in jars
they rode by nIght and slept by day..the star their only guide
all thIs to see a baby boy....and kneel down by his side

star singers we are great full...of your ancient hoLy quest
to welcome tO the woRld...the one we know as blessed
star singers we will not forget..the sacrifice you made
never to return to home...and wander all your Days

civil i say shun not these men...for they be Known as kings
blessed with the wIsdom of the earth ...and even heaveNly things
and just before I began to awake...i heard a Gentle voice
"take comfort now that i have come and in all things do rejoice"
