Caravan Lyrics - Jane Siberry

O - it was a snowy night 

The caravan traveling across the desert land 

The stars were hanging heavy in the absence of light 

And you were there and I 

And something in our hearts told us to keep moving 

Because there was something about that star 

That Star ... 

How far is the nearest place to kneel? 

How far is the nearest throne? 

How far how far can you go with only a dream? 

With only a hope? 

You take the vision and you hold it steady 

Right ahead of you across the ranges across the plains 

The desert land the gaze of strangers 

That is how ... Hold It Steady 

There was always someone who would 

Take the children and keep them entertained 

There was always someone who would 

Lay down their work to play the children's games 

There was always someone who would 

know how things worked 

They'd say ...THERE. Where? OVER THERE. 

And now as we sit on the steps 

at the side of the square 

There are three wise men 

sitting in their chairs 

If anyone wants to know 

which way any of us should go 

They will hold they will contain 

they will cup the refrain 

Hold It Steady - take the vision - Hold It Steady 

right ahead of you right between the eyes. 

THAT is how.
