Lyrics

LIGHT OF A GOLD STAR

Written and Composed by John Stea

 

VERSE

 

Sometimes a battle becomes a war

Flags unfurl, boots land on a shore

Voices on the line, knocks on the door

Twenty-one guns, now its quarter to four

In the morning

Without warning

 

CHORUS

 

Golden lights fall from a star-spangled sky

And I hear your voice saying it’s all right: it’s all right

You found your way home from so very far

Under the light of a gold star

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on

 

VERSE

 

Plans are laid, soldiers march in time

You’ll be back, a promise with goodbye

Pictures on a wall, lighthearted smiles

Take me to those memories in my mind

Through the night mist

When a storm lifts

 

CHORUS

​

Golden lights fall from a star-spangled sky

And I hear your voice saying it’s all right: it’s all right

You found your way home from so very far

Under the light of a gold star

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on

 

BRIDGE

 

A blue star turned to Gold

As a flag began to fold

Still through it all

You kept your promise

 

CHORUS

​

Golden lights fall from a star-spangled sky

And I hear your voice saying it’s all right: it’s all right

You found your way home from so very far

Under the light of a gold star

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on
