[Verse 1]
I stole a ride on a passing star
Not knowing where I was going
How near or how far
Through years of light, lands of future and past
Until the heavenly gates
Were sighted at last
[Chorus 1]
Starrider, rider, rider
Take me to the stars
Starrider, rider, rider
Show me where you are
[Verse 2]
Northern lights flashed by
And then they were gone
And as old stars would die
So the new ones were born
And ever on I sailed
Celestial ways
And in the light of my years
Shone the rest of my days
[Chorus 2]
Speed increasing
All control is in the hands of those who know
Will they help us grow
To one day be starriders
[Chorus 1]
Starrider, rider, rider
Show me where you are
Starrider, rider, rider
Take me to the stars
[Chorus 2]
I stole a ride on a passing star
Not knowing where I was going
How near or how far
Through years of light, lands of future and past
Until the heavenly gates
Were sighted at last
[Chorus 1]
Starrider, rider, rider
Take me to the stars
Starrider, rider, rider
Show me where you are
[Verse 2]
Northern lights flashed by
And then they were gone
And as old stars would die
So the new ones were born
And ever on I sailed
Celestial ways
And in the light of my years
Shone the rest of my days
[Chorus 2]
Speed increasing
All control is in the hands of those who know
Will they help us grow
To one day be starriders
[Chorus 1]
Starrider, rider, rider
Show me where you are
Starrider, rider, rider
Take me to the stars
[Chorus 2]
