Since the stars lit up the nights
Millions more shall pass away.
Still they'll be shining all beauty and light
When I was young I saw the heavens
And I learned about the shining stars
How they lived their lives by giving light
Till they burned out like a fire
I hoped my life would be as gentle and strong
To get out to things I couldn't face
(And) for a while I had it made
But there came a time I couldn't run any more
I found myself myself and I was reborn
Since I faced that truth, I'll never go away
I'm hoping to live life gentle and strong.
And now, as I watch the heavens
The breath of life shines in the stars
Living their lives by giving light
Till they burn out like a fire.
Since the stars lit up the nights
