Gather round, young and older, listen only to the song
Every story has a warning
Some are simple like the morning
Is it fame? Is it riches? Is it written in a book?
Does it come with some directions, so you never forget where you started out?
Oh
One summer night I went outside
I started thinkin' 'bout my life
The big dipper was waving in the sky
I am thinking, I know you've seen much more than mine
So won't you just give me a sign
Is it a game? Do we get wishes? Is it only for a few?
Can you learn it from your mother or the stranger on the avenue?
Fame? Is it riches? Is it written in a book?
Does it come with some directions, so you never forget where you started out?
Oh
One summer night I went outside
I started thinkin' 'bout my life
The big dipper was waving in the sky
I am thinking, I know you've seen much more than mine
So won't you just give me a sign
Oh
