Lyrics

Beneath the Stars
————————————

Seers look to the stars
To point the way before them
Sailors look to the stars
To keep the course they’ve chosen

Lovers kiss beneath the stars
And claim them for their own
Misfits fly to the stars
On a daydream journey home

I see the wells of ancient time
And sisters that dance with the sun
I feel the sacred and sublime
And the dread and the dreams
Of everyone

The young man seethes beneath the stars
And he wrings his tender hands
The old man breathes beneath the stars
And he’s got no special plans

And he pitches his tent on shifting sands

I see the wells of ancient time
And sisters that dance with the sun
I feel the sacred and sublime
And the dread and the dreams
Of everyone

Peace
Sons and fathers
Lay your strife aside
Rest your heads beside still waters
Feel the moon gently call the tide

Sleep
Sons and daughters
Shrouded in the sparkling night
A tear for every senseless slaughter
A jewel for every radiant bride

The Christ-child sleeps
Beneath the stars
And they herald
His ascendance

The Christ-child weeps
Beneath the stars
And they bear silent witness
To his sentence
