about

This song was written in late 1997, when by the grace of God a glimpse into the infinite brought about a spiritual awakening. 23 years later the Stars are at last aligned to share this song with the world.

The lyrics describe the protagonist’s experience seeing the light, both metaphorically and literally, as he gazes into the night sky and discovers that there is so much more to the Stars than previously beheld.

Musically the listener is invited to a voyage, starting from the soothing realms of reggae, travelling into space conversing with the likes of Ray Manzarek, Richard Wright and Mike Oldfield, before making a dub reggae hero’s return of grace.

This song is released on the 24th anniversary of the day when Christopher had his first spiritual awakening in Lonar, India.

lyrics

I was looking at the stars on a clear, clear night

Thousands of stars, but they weren’t so very bright

Yet the longer I looked, something enhanced my sight

Stars were appearing, my eyes were flooded with light

It started to scare me, but I wanted to go on

So I stayed and I stared – it was bright as the sun

At first I was blinded, at first I didn’t hear

But then a voice it talked to me, and suddenly it was clear

It said LOVE – it is written in the stars

LOVE – it’s the message from high above

Cause when you love all that is in your sight

When you love you can feel God in Her might

LOVE

Now that I’ve seen it, I don’t want it to disappear

I’m learning to be with it, and always keep it near

And sometimes when I’m not all alone in the city late at night

I look into your eyes and I can see

Stars that are shining so bright!

LOVE – it is written in just those very stars

LOVE – it’s the message from high above

Love everybody both day and night

But first of all Love yourself and you’ll be loved by all in your sight

LOVE – it is written in the stars

LOVE – it’s the message from high above

Cause when you love all that is in your sight

When you love you can feel God in His might or Her might or Its might

LOVE
