Sun sinks low, night draws in,
Now is the time for stargazing
I left my home, I thought I would die,
But then I was shown we're still under the same sky
I once dreamt I was a singer on the stage
And somebody might hear what I had to say
But then I awoke,
I found my life was not my own
My brother took me to look for stars,
Somewhere so far from home
Well, singing and stargazing, in the end,
They're much the same
Searching for harmony in the great dance
Of all things,
Caught between the cold, cold earth,
And the never, never clouds,
Dreaming yourself into other worlds
One day I'll find the gods, up in their high,
High halls
And I'll ask them how do they ever manage
Not to fall?
I'll curtesy very low through
The telescope's frame
And I'll ask them if my life has lived
In vain.
