Starrider, rider, rider Take me to the stars Starrider, rider, rider Show me where you are
Northern lights flashed by And then they were gone And as old stars would die So the new ones were born
And ever on I sailed Celestial ways And in the light of my years Shone the rest of my days
Speed increasing All control is in the hands of those who know Will they help us grow To one day be starriders
Starrider, rider, rider Show me where you are Starrider, rider, rider Take me to the stars
Speed increasing All control is in the hands of those who know Will they help us grow To one day be starriders
