Caravan (Alternate Version) lyrics

It was a snowy night
And the stars were shining bright
Hanging heavy in the absence of light
A caravan across the desert land
I was there and
You were there
And something in our hearts
Told us to keep...keep moving
Something about that star
...that star...

How far
Is the nearest place to kneel?
And how far
Is the nearest home?
And how far how far
Can you go with only a dream?
With only a hope?
You hold the vision
You hold it steady
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jane_siberry/caravan_alternate_version.html ]
Oh there was always someone
Who would take the children
And keep them entertained
There was always someone
Who would participate
There was always someone who would
Know how it worked
There
Over there

And now we sit on the steps
At the side of the square
There are three old men
Sitting in their chairs
And if anyone wants to know
Which way any of us should go
They will hold
They will contain
They will cup the refrain
Hold it steady hold it steady
Hold it steady
Hold it steady

It was a snowy night
And our caravan
Moved along in starlight
