i can hear the desert calling
i know you gotta go
you gotta find what’s out there
you gotta go alone
the music in your fingers
needs to stroke the wind
it’s only in the outlands
you discover what’s within

you’re hunting for stars to bring back to me
i’m hunting for stars for you
when i see you again, we’re gonna light up the sky
i can’t wait to see the things we do

that highway is wondrous
it’s dangerous and it’s strange
you’ll see death and beauty
and your own reflection in the rain
you’ll sing and you’ll steal
you’ll cry and you’ll play
you’ll bleed and you’ll heal
and become more yourself every day

you’re hunting for stars to bring back to me
i’m hunting for stars for you
when i see you again, we’re gonna light up the sky
i can’t wait to see the things we do

you and i create a constellation
we chart our course by its light
but now you’re on the other side of the world
where unfamiliar stars fill the sky at night
at times, you’ll feel lost or lonesome
hounded by fear or despair
but you are a compass, you are the sun
when you’re ready to go home, you’ll find your way there
and there you’ll find me
there you’ll find me

i can hear the desert calling
i know you gotta go
you gotta find what’s out there
you gotta go alone
however far you wander
however far you roam
in me, oh, in me
you can always find a home

you’re hunting for stars to bring back to me
i’m hunting for stars for you
when i see you again, we’re gonna light up the sky
i can’t wait to see the things we do
