Blaze the Skies

This journey of my dreams is everything I’ve waited for
It’s all wrapped up with strings
With sweat and tears, with joy and pain
Through hills and valleys I have come
A thousand dreams I dared to dream
I stand here in this time and place
Where stars are born to blaze the skies

Blaze the skies with your life
We live each day and weave our dreams
Each life is a song that must be sung
As stars are born to blaze the skies

When I recall the years, the many fears, the hidden tears
The solid walls unseen 
The rocky road, the times I fell
The yearning grew, the struggles too
A million stars have shone their lights
Along the way to where I am
Where stars are born to blaze the skies

Blaze the skies with your life
We live each day and weave our dreams
Each life is a song that must be sung
As stars are born to blaze the skies

I’ll soar with touching songs that warm the heart that feed the soul
To heights beyond the stars, 
And light the path for all who dream
Who know the laughter and the pain
To give each song its wings to fly
To a higher place in the universe
Where stars are born to blaze the skies

I like this one. There is a really good song lyric in here ala folk rock,( Think Donovan, Don McLean, early Carly Simon, et al.) that I am almost tempted to write the melody myself. The refrain line on the end of each chorus(?) is classic. Regards, Gerard.

Audrey, do you have another one on here about stars? I recently read some other poem here at the soup and it was all about stars shining brightly and it really reminded me of this one, the beautiful repeating lines the cadence of it. Maybe you have a soul twin here! LUv, andrea
