Across the midnight skies they drift
shining on the blackest night
up and over, through the clouds they sift
the sun descends and they take flight
watching us peacefully as we sleep
giving direction for all lost
while we partake in dreams so deep
they do not part until morning frost
wherever life may bring you
they will always be above
strung across the skies askew
as peaceful as a dove
around the moon they dance
the path to heaven they light
even far off in the distance
they shine with all their might
no matter your situation
they will shine for you
whether it be dismay or frusteration
their light will shine you through
power wil burn out
and lights will turn dark
but they will shine without doubt
along the skies they ark
many years shall pass
some may leave this world, and some have entered
but still they be a compass
and keep our universe centered
what be these powers
of which i speak so great
how do they withstand the darkest hours
can they control our fate
these powers are the stars
which shine among us bright
they protect the earth from scars
and see to it our world is right
in all your journeys through the years
when all lifes songs of joy and sorrow fill your ears
when you succumb to fear
and the pain feels far too great
shed not one tear
and feel no hint of hate
when i am not there to watch over you
look at the stars and remember,
that i am looking at them too.
