I could tell by the somber tone
And the look she gave me when she got off the phone
Something has gone awry
Then the twinkle she had in her eye appeared in mine
Saddle up
Grab your bag, son
It was heavy but my heart weighed a ton"Look above, do you see the stars?"
I stared at them and listened to the passing cars
We brought you all the music that you liked
And hoped that it would get you through the night
Your face turned drab and your grasp got lighter
But to me you were and always are a fighter
Saddle up
Grab your bag, Father
You're coming home
Life just got larger
Now we can both see the stars
And you can tell me which ones they are
