lyrics

One day I will return
It's written
One day you all will learn
It's written
And when I choose to go
It's written
Somehow you all will know
It's written
How can this be?
It's written
Yeah, can't you see?
It's written
It's written in the stars

Deceived by old Night-Wind
It's written
And banished 'cause I sinned
It's written
Well, I drifted to the east
It's written
But don't think that I'm deceased
It's written
I've sown my seed
It's written
The year one-reed
It's written
It's written in the stars

Chorus:
It's in the sun when it's rising
And below the horizon
Written in the stars
It's in the sky of the morning
And the heralds of warning
Are written in the stars

You'll know me by my guise
It's written
The feathered serpent's rise
It's written
In the predetermined year
It's written
That's when I'll reappear
It's written
I'm telling you
It's written
I always knew
It's written
It's written in the stars

Chorus:
It's in the sun when it's rising
And below the horizon
Written in the stars
It's in the sky of the morning
And the heralds of warning
Are written in the stars
It's in the change of the seasons
And the essence of reason
Is written in the stars
It's in the constellations
And the fate of the nations
Is written in the stars

It's been a long, long time
I miss my home so much
I'm hoping for a sign
But I'm so out of touch
I know I'm coming back
I don't care what they say
Just give me time to pack
Just give me one more day
If our lives are all predestined
Then it makes me ask some questions
It's the kind of thing that makes me wonder why
If the heavens know the way we stray
Why do people live from day to day?
The answers to the questions are in the stars up in the sky

Chorus

One day I will return
It's written (written in the stars)
One day you all will learn
It's written (written in the stars)
The heavens are the key
It's written (written in the stars)
They hold our destiny

Chorus
