Celestial bodies born on earth
Break into the silence with light
But only for a moment
A chorus song swells through the valley
As heavenly lights come and go
Playing the strings of the spectrum
Brief luminaries bring hope
As one vanishes, soon as it came
So too the next ignites to take its place
In a multitude they hold back the night
Living and dying
But the darkness does not prevail
Each burst of light so short in the mystery of time
Yet impacting the song in its rhythm and rhyme
And up they’ll go, these heavenly bodies
Gifted with wings to climb the night sky
Guided by a higher calling
At last they’ll glow, forever alight
