About This Track

'Guiding Star' by Cast is a 1997 pop track from the album 'Mother Nature Calls'. The lyrics are buoyant and urgent, urging you to get up as a “guiding star” arrives to carry the singer home, after far travels and blind roaming. They describe widening horizons, spreading wings in pursuit of truth, and sharing a glimpse of a forgotten dream, wanting it to pass to you. The overall feel is uplifted, exploratory, and conspiratorially inviting.

"Guiding Star" is a single by Cast, from the album Mother Nature Calls, released 13th April 1997. The track is 3:59 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Guiding Star

Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up
Here comes my guiding star
To take me home
I've travelled lands afar
We blindly roam
We spread our wings
In search of truth
And all it brings
We got a glimpse of a forgotten dream
And we want it to pass to you
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up
Two thousand years apart
And still remain
You carve into my heart
A sacred name
We spread our wings
In search of truth
And all it brings
We got a glimpse of a forgotten dream
And we want it to pass to you
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up
A glimpse of a forgotten dream
Here comes my guiding star
To take me home
I've travelled lands afar
We blindly roam
We spread our wings
In search of truth
And all it brings
We got a glimpse of a forgotten dream
And we want it to pass to you
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up
