I remember the songs you sang to me
When I was a babe in arms
Oh, my stars

Oh my stars, will you
Navigate me home


We are princes and princesses
So our pauper fathers taught us
As they carried us through darkened streets

With eyes sad as soldiers
To where no country and no colours and no borders can hurt us again


I remember the songs you sang to me
When I was a child in arms
Oh my stars

Oh my stars, will you
Guide me to my home


Are they your brothers and sisters?
Or someone's sons and daughters?
Did they flee the gods of war?

Did they place their faith in water?
So no country and no colours and no borders can hurt them again


Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na


And the man in the moon sees the man on the ground collapse
As the man on the scene says to the boy in the jeans
"Keep it real kid, just give us the facts

Keep it real kid, just give us the facts
Keep it real kid..."


I remember the songs you sang to me
At night when the seas were calm
Oh my stars

Oh my stars, please
Deliver me from harm


And the night skies inverted and reflected in the ocean
And the skies guide us through
Ever deeper darkness

To where no country and no colours and no borders will turn us away

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na


And the man in the moon looks down and he turns his back
As the man in the coat says to the lost on the boat

"Keep it real kid, just give us the facts
Keep it real kid, just give us the facts
Keep it real kid..."


I remember the songs you sang to me
When the lightning skies were calmed

Oh my stars
Oh my stars, please
Deliver me from harm


Oh my stars
Oh my stars...

Deliver me from harm
