Across the Stars to You
The album's first breath. Before Orion has traveled anywhere, he feels the pull: a longing toward something vast he cannot yet name. Here that longing becomes direction, a certainty about a destination he cannot yet see.
About This Song
"Across the Stars to You" is where everything begins. It is the album's opening statement and the first note of Orion's arc, sung at the very moment of departure, before motion has produced any distance. Orion does not know what he is moving toward, but the not-knowing does not stop him. It propels him.
The song's quiet claim is that longing is a kind of navigation. The stars here are not a backdrop but a medium, the thing his longing travels through. He is certain of the direction and unsure of the destination, and that contradiction becomes the engine for everything that follows.
I wanted the album to open the way the story does, with a pull toward something you cannot name yet. This song is that first pull, the moment the sky stops being scenery and starts to feel like a direction.
"I was lost between the worlds, till your signal pulled me through."
Lyrics
I was standing at the edge of everything I knew,
When the silence cracked and something pulled me toward the truth.
Every star above me felt like it was pointing to you,
Like the universe had always been aligning me to you.
There's a fire waking in my veins,
A calling I can't turn away.
And every time the heavens shift,
I feel the worlds lean toward your way.
I'll cross the stars to you,
Like it's written in the light.
Every moment feels brand new,
Like destiny is right.
I was lost between the worlds
Till your signal pulled me through
Showed me what I'm meant to do —
I'll cross the stars to you.
I've been chasing shadows of a life I left behind,
But the future keeps unfolding in the corners of my mind.
Every stride I take feels guided by a force I never knew,
Like the cosmos carved a passage that was always leading you.
There's a fire waking in my veins,
A calling I can't turn away.
And every time the heavens shift,
I feel the worlds align your way.
I'll cross the stars to you,
Like it's written in the light.
Every moment feels brand new,
Like destiny is right.
I was lost between the worlds
Till your signal pulled me through
Showed me what I'm meant to do —
I'll cross the stars to you.
If the sky divides,
I won't lose the line.
Through the fractured light,
Past the edge of time,
I'll follow every sign
To where your fate meets mine.
I'll cross the stars to you,
Like it's written in the light.
Every moment feels brand new,
Like destiny is right.
I was lost between the worlds
Till your signal pulled me through
Showed me what I'm meant to do —
I'll cross the stars to you.
