Caravan (alternate Version) Lyrics - Jane Siberry

It was a snowy night 

And the stars were shining bright 

hanging heavy in the absence of light 

A caravan across the desert land 

I was there and 

You were there 

And something in our hearts 

told us to keep...keep moving 

Something about that star 

...that star... 

How far 

is the nearest place to kneel? 

And how far 

is the nearest home? 

And how far how far 

can you go with only a dream? 

With only a hope? 

You hold the vision 

You hold it steady 

Oh there was always someone 

who would take the children 

And keep them entertained 

There was always someone 

who would participate 

There was always someone who would 

know how it worked 

there 

over there 

And now we sit on the steps 

at the side of the square 

There are three old men 

sitting in their chairs 

And 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 hold it steady 

hold it steady 

hold it steady
