Anatomy of the Night
We are star dust
Living under the light
Of a thousand stars.
They are our inheritance.
The universe flows
Through our veins.
We both emit light
And reflect light.
We are both wished upon
And we are
Someone's dream.
Our dimples twinkle
When we smile.
We are radiant
Until time stands still,
And the seas walk backward,
And other stars
Are collapsing,
But we grow
Into a supernova,
Something more beautiful
Than we were before.
So, in that dusky moment
When you realize the day is still
Within your reach,
But it won't be
Much longer.
Let the wind change your plans,
Let the late evening's
Yellow light sweeten
Your attitude,
Let the rain change your mood,
Let the dusk brighten
Your spirit,
Look up at the stars.
Let their light carry you through
And the darkness set you free.
Because we are star dust,
See how we shine!
Living under the light
Of a thousand stars.
They are our inheritance.
The universe flows
Through our veins.
We both emit light
And reflect light.
We are both wished upon
And we are
Someone's dream.
Our dimples twinkle
When we smile.
We are radiant
Until time stands still,
And the seas walk backward,
And other stars

Let the late evening's
Yellow light sweeten

Let the rain change your mood,
Let the dusk brighten

And the darkness set you free.
Because we are star dust,
See how we shine!
