Staring at stars in the desert here Farther but nearer and harder to fear Harder being easier for some Now somehow safe at last for the first Time when the past had returned for the worst Time then for the present gifted best Never mind how long how good how free Staring at stars sharing all of the rest Of whatever forever may be Any of many some who become By being here becoming everywhere Learning through turning to overcome Staring at stars here now where I see Not going anywhere already there Daring to be I am finally Forever found how I was never lost Through the cracks beyond the Uncle Jacks Right here on the wrong side of the tracks Now more than ever whatever it cost Staring at stars I think they wink at me +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXII
