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