By the light of glowing stars
I will traverse this path I’ve taken.
Though wicked brambles may snag my sleeves
and felled trunks may block my course,
even as twigs and sticks trip my ankles,
I will traverse this path I’ve taken.

As the path rises, it shall surely fall,
you can only travel uphill so far
before the landscape takes pity
and guides you down into a valley.
Even as the sun ends another day,
I will traverse this path I’ve taken.

The beautiful night hides nothing from me,
I will traverse this path I’ve taken.
Midnight dark, the sky full of stars,
they offer me luminance and courage
when others see dots in the darkness.
By the light of glowing stars
I will traverse this path I’ve taken.
