Story Behind the Song
I was inspired to write this song after reading the book of the same name. It deals with the coming new age and the roll that the "Star People" will play. This was one of those songs where you wake up out of a deep sleep and write the entire song, music and all in about half an hour.
Recording it was a blast with such great players as Michael Fonfara on keyboards, Joe Mavety on lead guitar, Rick Gratton on drums and Joe Agnello on bass guitar. I played all the acoustic and electric guitar rhythm tracks. I can't forget to mention Jim Zolis, engineer extrordinaire.
All of these people have had years of experience working with top recording acts. Thanks guys!

1) They've got your number, & they've got your name
They know this world ain't gonna be the same
They sense the changes, The dawning is near
Of the new age, with nothing to fear
2) They've been a' watching, There's people who know
I've seen the fire & I've seen the glow
Mid-Summer's night and a moonlit sky
Something is up there & it's waiting to fly
Chorus - Oh yeah, They're up there tonight
Look around, You can still see the light
Star People, The eye in the sky
The time is now, Are you ready to fly ?
3) Somewhere in the desert now
A coming battle, To end them all
The final hour approaches fast
For it is written just a few will last
Chorus
4) The prophets warn of a coming new age
And it's their duty to prepare the way
So many people are out in the cold
Got to get through, Before the show!
