[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]

Foreigner

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
