On endless nights beneath gray skies, <br />I search the stars with restless eyes, <br />A distant ache still haunts my soul, <br />For somewhere I once knew as home. <br /><br />Mira shines beyond the blue, <br />Across expanses vast and true, <br />Her silver voice comes drifting through: <br /><br />"I'm waiting here. <br />I'm waiting for you." <br /><br />I lost my health, I lost my way, <br />Watched trusted friendships drift away, <br />The life I built with careful hands <br />Slipped through my fingers like dry sand. <br /><br />I crossed long years of doubt and strain, <br />Of unanswered prayers and quiet pain, <br />Yet deep within a hidden flame <br />Refused surrender, refused to change. <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />I'm waiting for you, <br />I'm waiting for you, <br />Beyond the Blue Crystal Mountains, <br />I'm waiting for you. <br />When the world no longer fits, <br />When familiar faces fade from view, <br />Follow the memory older than time. <br />I'm waiting for you. <br /><br />The frequencies begin to rise, <br />Streetlights blur before my eyes, <br />Rooms I knew my whole life through <br />Feel like places passing through. <br /><br />The ancient codes awake at last, <br />Lost fragments carried from the past, <br />Like buried seeds beneath the snow <br />Remembering where they must grow. <br /><br />The world grows smaller every day, <br />Its certainties just drift away, <br />And somewhere past the edge of sight <br />The Seven Sisters fill the night. <br /><br />Then through the static came her voice, <br />So calm it silenced every noise: <br /><br />"Nothing was taken. <br />Nothing was lost. <br /><br />Only disguises disappeared. <br /><br />The doors that closed, <br />The hearts that strayed, <br /><br />Helped lead you here <br />Across the years. <br /><br />The home you seek <br />Seeks you as well. <br /><br />It always has." <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />I'm waiting for you, <br />I'm waiting for you, <br />Beyond the Blue Crystal Mountains, <br />I'm waiting for you. <br />When the world no longer fits, <br />When familiar faces fade from view, <br />Follow the memory older than time. <br />I'm waiting for you. <br /><br />I saw the ones who went before, <br />Gathered beside a shining shore, <br />Friends and lovers standing near, <br />Beyond the reach of loss or fear. <br /><br />Animals with familiar eyes <br />Beneath vast fields of golden skies, <br />Every bond I thought was gone <br />Had simply carried on. <br /><br />The Seven Sisters filled the sky, <br />Like lanterns burning vast and high, <br />And all the stars seemed to proclaim: <br /><br />"You never truly left this place." <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />I'm waiting for you, <br />I'm waiting for you, <br />Beyond the Blue Crystal Mountains, <br />I'm waiting for you. <br />Lay down the names you've carried here, <br />Lay down the masks you've worn for years, <br />The road was never leading away. <br />It was leading to you. <br />I'm waiting for you. <br />I'm waiting for you. <br /><br />Now I raise my eyes above, <br />Toward the stars I've always loved, <br />And through a radiance clear and new <br />I hear her whisper: <br /><br />"The home you seek <br />Seeks you as well." <br /><br />Beyond the Blue Crystal Mountains. <br /><br />I'm waiting for you. <br /><br /><br />Astrikos Katoikos <br />∆∆∆ 2026 ∆∆∆ <br /><br />#astrikoskatoikos
