Lyrics
A SERENADE TO THE STARS AND BEYOND
Words & Music By Jerry Pettit Facebook.com/JerryPettitMusic
She wore silver on her shoulders Like the light of distant moons Said she'd chase the edge of mystery And she'd be leaving soon
They told her she was reckless That the darkness was too deep But she had fire in her vision And she had promises to keep
CHORUS: This is A SERENADE TO THE STARS AND BEYOND To the wild-hearted dreamers who keep holding on When the world tries to clip your wings You just let your spirit fly We're all made for something greater Than this ordinary life A SERENADE TO THE STARS AND BEYOND
There are souls who map the heavens With their telescopes and charts There are poets writing equations That look like works of art
And every single breakthrough Is a doorway to the new Every question that we're asking Brings the infinite in view
CHORUS: This is A SERENADE TO THE STARS AND BEYOND To the wild-hearted dreamers who keep holding on When the world tries to clip your wings You just let your spirit fly We're all made for something greater Than this ordinary life A SERENADE TO THE STARS AND BEYOND
So I'm singing for the astronauts And the dreamers in their rooms For the ones who build the rockets And the ones who chase the moon
For the girl who looks up at the sky With stardust in her eyes Knowing somewhere deep inside her She was always meant to fly
CHORUS: This is A SERENADE TO THE STARS AND BEYOND To the wild-hearted dreamers who keep holding on When the world tries to clip your wings You just let your spirit fly We're all made for something greater Than this ordinary life A SERENADE TO THE STARS AND BEYOND

Those who do, those who know and those who build. Pretty cool arc lyrically. I like how the chorus applies to all three. A song full of hope and good feelings!
What a great tribute to those who are dreamers and those who do the things. The song has a cool flow and very nice changes in tempo. Of course your melodies and harmonies are lovely . Very well done!
Very beautiful dreamy song. A serenade from heaven. Gorgeous new song, Jerry. Have a wonderful nap and come back with more. It is always such a pleasure to listen to your songs, singing and playing. One man band, a great one man band, a very memorable and special one man band.
Jerry goes cosmic. I like this departure into the unknown. The music has a relaxing yet elevating effect as you serenade the stars and contemplate a better existence for we who wish we could break free of this dying animal to which we are chained.
How do you do this? I’ve run out of words of praise to describe the sheer brilliance of your songwriting.
I am very much here for this lyric. The wonders of the cosmos, the poetics of mathematics, all of that, is where my spirituality lies. So of course I salute you for the lyrics here. And I love the music too. I think I heard some fantastic suspended chords in there which add tension and mystery that feels absolutely apt for the subject. Great stuff.
