What is it you do when the world turns downside up
Where the Southern Cross becomes the North Star
When the pocket is empty, and the cupboard is bare
Yet the nothing you have seems to take you so far
Because you travel with hope and find yourself singing for joy
And whistle in fear
And the tune you are humming somehow has words which know you so well
If you follow a star
You look for a beginning
A birth to awaken you to a new day
A morning star that gives you hope
That this is indeed the one day the Lord has made
The one day you were waiting for
If you follow a cross
You look to the end
A death that surrounds you
That empties you of self
Shinning even in the darkness of night
Possesing a hope of a dawning day
That is indeed the one day that only the Lord can make
So I find when my world is downside up
I can sing
I can sing out loud
I can sing out strong
Be I follow a star or follow a cross
Be I on a mountain
Or down the valley
The echo will show that the Lord is true and all men liars
So let it be
