Wishing Chair: Music

Morning Star

(Wishing Chair and Kara Barnard)
2003-03-01
Words and Music by Kiya Heartwood
All the sleepy heads
Have gone to bed
So much left unsaid
The stars are bright
Oh it's such a night

Now you do your time
Always to work by nine
Come on in, the waters fine
It seems a crime
To waste the wine


Could you stay up late
These songs won't wait

CHORUS:

Bright morning star
That’s who you are
That’s who you are
To me

Bright morning star
That’s who you are
That’s who you are
Bright morning star

Outside in the fields of green
Dragonflies are spiraling
Skating on a silver dream
I believe in love
And not in things
Every nation, every town
We are made of common ground
Rescued from the lost and found
Have you heard a sweeter sound

Can you stay up late
Our lives won't wait

CHORUS

Lets leave this city and slip away
We'll live to sing another day
The rain will wash our sins away
Like the weeds
We're planting seeds
Peeking in the moonlight dawn
We'll find the strength to carry on
Right back home where we belong
A home where we belong
It's not too late
This love won't wait
