I was driving my son to school one day
When I spotted six wild deer
Skipping ‘cross the meadow, in the mist they were so clear
In the music of my senses
It was the strings of my guitar
Oh Nathan, you are my perfect star
From the day that you arrived kicking
You were bundle so very small
Now 14 years have passed and you’ve grown so tall
My life has become a travelogue
Of adventures from afar
Oh Nathan, you are my perfect star
People’ll tell you where they’ve gone
They’ll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you’ll never really know
Where some have found their paradise
Other’s just go too far
Oh Nathan, you are my perfect star
Now you’ve kicked your way to glory
With determination and some skill
You’re the mirror of my childhood, still with time to kill
At school you are a scholar
The payment for my scar
Oh Nathan, you are my perfect star
As the future burns so bright
The deer have now skipped away
The mist envelops the road ahead, turning light to grey
I think of all the things I’ve done
And how we’ve come so far
Oh Nathan, you are my perfect star
