Paul McDermott - Oh My Stars lyrics

rate me

I remember the songs you sang to me<br />

When I was a babe in arms<br />

Oh, my stars<br />

Oh my stars, will you<br />

Navigate me home<br />

<br />

We are princes and princesses<br />

So our pauper fathers taught us<br />

As they carried us through darkened streets<br />

With eyes sad as soldiers<br />

To where no country and no colours and no borders can hurt us again<br />

<br />

I remember the songs you sang to me<br />

When I was a child in arms<br />

Oh my stars<br />

Oh my stars, will you<br />

Guide me to my home<br />

<br />

Are they your brothers and sisters?<br />

Or someone's sons and daughters?<br />

Did they flee the gods of war?<br />

Did they place their faith in water?<br />

So no country and no colours and no borders can hurt them again<br />

<br />

Na na na na na na na<br />

Na na na na na na na<br />

<br />

And the man in the moon sees the man on the ground collapse<br />

As the man on the scene says to the boy in the jeans<br />

"Keep it real kid, just give us the facts<br />

Keep it real kid, just give us the facts<br />

Keep it real kid..."<br />

<br />

I remember the songs you sang to me<br />

At night when the seas were calm<br />

Oh my stars<br />

Oh my stars, please<br />

Deliver me from harm<br />

<br />

And the night skies inverted and reflected in the ocean<br />

And the skies guide us through<br />

Ever deeper darkness<br />

To where no country and no colours and no borders will turn us away<br />

<br />

Na na na na na na na<br />

Na na na na na<br />

Na na na na na na na<br />

Na na na na na<br />

<br />

And the man in the moon looks down and he turns his back<br />

As the man in the coat says to the lost on the boat<br />

"Keep it real kid, just give us the facts<br />

Keep it real kid, just give us the facts<br />

Keep it real kid..."<br />

<br />

I remember the songs you sang to me<br />

When the lightning skies were calmed<br />

Oh my stars<br />

Oh my stars, please<br />

Deliver me from harm<br />

<br />

Oh my stars<br />

Oh my stars... <br />

Deliver me from harm
