John Robert Jackson - Grand Texas Star Lyrics
The mockingbird sings to the armadilloAs the moon rises up across the western sageIt sets the stage and shines from afarAll across the night of Spanish guitarIt was at the AlamoAnd saw the ones that gave their allRising up to show the way we areThe Grand Texas StarThe Heart of the RepublicThat shines for all of Texas to seeAnd it boldly stands for our unityAs one for God, State, and CountrySam Houston with the Patriots that fought and cleared the wayFor the Republic, the Lone Star StateSo let’s ride the trail of the El Camino RealAll ride for Texas, gone to TexasLive large in Texas, show the way we areRaise the Grand Texas StarIt’s the Heart of the RepublicThat shines bright for everyoneOn a field of red, white and blueThe Grand Texas StarKeep shining on me and youKeep shining on me and youKeep shining on me and youUp on the mesaYou can see across the sky of azure blueA view, a vista of the star shining on youThe Grand Texas Star shines on youIt’s the Heart of the RepublicThat shines for all the World to seeOn a field of red, white and blueThe Grand Texas StarIt stands for me and youThe Grand Texas StarLet it show the way we areLet’s raise the Grand Texas Star
