I'm going on a long journey tonight
To find the River of Stars
I've tried before to find it
And I've had no luck so far
But since then my fortune's come about
'Cos I've met a fellow who knows
He assures me he's been there and seen such things
As the beautiful Amaranth rose

He says that all it's petals 
Turn towards the way to go
And he travelled along the Herdaculies path
Sprinkled with silver edged snow
Then across the border to Farnness
And around the boulders of Jinze
Then it was a quick hop, skip and jump
Where the streams of Zillmere turn in

He told me he couldn't believe his eyes
When he saw the sight up ahead
Of a billion stars rushing along
Cascading over boulders in it's stead
And splashes of flashes as the stars twinkled out
Each one like a jewel in the sky
It's beauty so startlingly fragile
Bought a salt laden tear to his eye

I've packed my sack and I'm ready to fly
I think I've got all I need
Some imagination for when I'm worn out
But I can feel I'm going to succeed
I've bought lots of luck and dream dust
Although I know this time it's tonight
I'm going to find the River of Stars
So climb aboard and we'll take flight
