To gaze the stars and wonder why
As if my soul could climb, could fly
Up to the clouds above.
To ask and wait so answer-less
To wade about in earthly mess
Where all I seek is Heaven's rest
And heavenly, to love.
To lie in wait beneath the sun
From the dawn till day is done
To feel alone- the only one
Is something I could prove.
So find me where I rest so long
And sing to me of Heaven's song
Beneath this sky I sense no wrong
'Neath stars that blink and move.
