Light me up, bright star. 
Light me up to see 
the sun when its shine.
Light me up, friend! 
It lit me up!

Don't let me fall asleep in the dark. 
Don't let me be awake in the dark. 
Don't let me be fed up in the dark. 
Don't let me struggle in the dark. 
Don't let me be a servant of the dark. 
Light me up, friend! 
It lit me up!

lit me up to see my front,
so I can repair my back. 
Light me up, friend! 
Light me Up!

Allow my eyes to see the narrow
let, my fingers to find the needle
let my thoughts to be unclouded by bitter tears. 
Light me up, friend! 
and lit me up!
that'll not fly quietly
into a black crow night
not an old screech owl
a coyote that howls

under the dancing moonlight
broad as a mountain
not a leaky fountain
that drizzles in spits
turns and twists

a wrecking ball
that destroys all
standing in her way
she'll not lie down

she's sky
not the ground
finding and cracking
men's feet of clay
You are my sanctuary
You bring me peace
Your touch soothes and
takes away the pain

Your smile lightens my day
Your eyes show me wisdom

You are my sanctuary
You bring me peace

You are the strong tree in a storm
The beautiful flower
The unending dream

You are light and warmth
You are my sanctuary
You bring me peace

Forget I love.
Love, I forget.
This part of the world,
And it's starchy ways,
Everything fattens,
Very heart unfriendly.
