AD ASTRA
To the stars…to the stars!
When you’re tired and troubled and you have lost your way,
Don’t let hard times lead you astray.
Though you may be weary, just know you’re not alone,
for the stars will guide you home.
Move forward, look upward, leave all cares behind.
To the stars…to the stars!

WE CAN DREAM
What’s your story?
What’s your plan?
Where’re you going to?
Where do you stand?

In this moment
Take a chance
Feel the light shine down
Live your life out loud
You can dance

Hear the laughter in the air
Let your voice be heard if you dare
Take the high road to your dreams
Let the world see how life could be right now
Come with me

One step toward the edge
What will happen next?
Every moment tells the story of our livеs
What would happen if we try?
Could we sprеad our wings and learn to fly?

And together, we could see
That the world is ours
We can shine like stars
We can dream 

THE JOURNEY
“The Journey” combines the Shaker hymn “Simple Gifts” and the “Going Home” theme from Antonín Dvořák’s New World Symphony into a partner-song format. The lyrical violin part adds to the bittersweet qualities of this simple, yet meaningful piece.

Simple Gifts 
‘Tis the gift to be simple, ‘tis the gift to be free,
‘Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain’d,
To bow and to bend we will not be asham’d,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right.

Going Home
Going home, going home, I am going home.
Going home, going home, evermore to roam.
Though the road’s been so long, now I’m going home.
To the place I belong, I am going home.
Going home.

WHEN OUR VOICES RISE
When our voices rise, ringing through the skies,
Our melodies can flow, ev’rywhere you go.
As our voices keep on rising higher,
We can move through the fire, walk, and never tire,
When our voices rise.

When our voices rise, the world can hear our cries
For peace and harmony, for ev’ryone to be free.
As our voices echo loud and clear,
We can stand the storms and persevere, sing our song,
When our voices rise.

Sing together, children; don’t you get weary.
Sing together, children; we must keep our voices rising.
Our song will grow stronger when our voices rise.

Sing our song, all day long, loud and strong.
We must keep our voices rising.
