O - it was a snowy night   The caravan traveling across the desert land   The stars were hanging heavy in the absence of light   And you were there and I   And something in our hearts told us to keep moving   Because there was something about that star   That Star ...       How far is the nearest place to kneel?   How far is the nearest throne?   How far how far can you go with only a dream?    With only a hope?   You take the vision and you hold it steady   Right ahead of you across the ranges across the plains   The desert land the gaze of strangers   That is how ... Hold It Steady       There was always someone who would   Take the children and keep them entertained   There was always someone who would   Lay down their work to play the children's games   There was always someone who would    know how things worked   They'd say ...THERE. Where? OVER THERE.       And now as we sit on the steps    at the side of the square   There are three wise men    sitting in their chairs   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 - take the vision - Hold It Steady   right ahead of you right between the eyes.    THAT is how.       O - It was a snowy night    and our caravan moved along   through this yet unholy land -    you were there and I was there   two desert boys - we did not understand   we only knew that something grand was happening   that Star ... that night
