Starship Trooper lyrics

Sister bluebird flying high above

Shine your wings forward to the sun

Hide the myst'ries of life on your way

Though you've seen them, please don't say a word

What you don't know, I have never heard

Starship trooper, go sailing on by

Catch my soul, catch the very light

Hide the moment from my eager eye

Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul

What you can't see, can't be very whole

Speak to me of summer

Long winters longer than time can remember

The setting up of other roads

To travel on in old accustomed ways

I still remember the talks by the water

The proud sons and daughter

That knew the knowledge of the land

Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

Mother life, hold firmly on to me

Catch my knowledge higher than the day

Lose as much as only you can show

Though you've seen me, please don't say a word

What I don't know, I have never shared

Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever

All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the facts there shown before you

Take what I say in a different way and it's easy to say that this is all confusion

As I see a new day in me, I can also show it you and you may follow

Speak to me of summer

Long winters longer than time can remember

The setting up of other roads

To travel on in old accustomed ways

I still remember the talks by the water

The proud sons and daughter

That knew the knowledge of the land

Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
