When I was young, I loved looking up at the stars - and Orion's belt was the first pattern that was easy recognise. There's a couple of connected thoughts: it's a big world, but we're all under the same sky, and there's something about finding your place in the bigger picture.
lyrics
Looking at Orion's Belt
Makes me feel how I felt
Way back when I first stared at the sky.
In the dark, three points of light
Orion's belt shines so bright
Way up there, so far from here, so high.
Stars shine down upon us all.
No matter where you are, or how small,
Stars shine down upon us all.
Flying saucers, passing planes
Coming back to earth again,
Who knows where those shooting stars are bound?
In the darkness, travelling light
Planes and saucers, shine so bright
Way up there, so far above the ground.
Wherever you are, see the stars above you
Wherever you go, know that I love you.
Wherever you find yourself,
Look up and remind yourself
That each of us has a place
Our own time and space.
