This song is dedicated to the beauty of Alderaan, the home planet of Princess Leia Organa. There are many things about Alderaan that remind me of our own homeworld. They are things worth celebrating, and protecting, and--no matter what--always remembering.
lyrics
As rising birds on wings of white
Let skyward songs in freedom fly
Let sunward voices echo bright
From emerald hills and mountains high
Alderaan, world of peace and plenty
Alderaan, your waters shine by morning light
But in the night
They hold a hundred million stars
Alderaan, jewel of hope unending
Alderaan, I know your face from far away
And come what may
It lives forever in my heart
Alderaan
World of peace and plenty
Alderaan
Jewel of hope unending
Alderaan
World of peace and plenty
Alderaan
Jewel of hope unending
I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell

I am very pleased to hear new music from 3 of my friends from John McCutcheon’s songwriting camp.
The album has lovely songs and beautiful harmonies.
Looking forward to more soon. whoppenjans
