stars in the night

look

look at the stars

how brilliant they are

how can they be shining now

when hope seems so far?

look

look how they shine

these cruelest of stars

what promise inspires them?

what faith is it fires them?

darkness grows

the world turns cold

and still there glows the light

heaven knows

what hope they hold tonight

look

look how they tease

these stars in the night

the darker the night becomes

the brighter their light becomes

chill winds wail

the tempest brews

and clouds assail the sky

through the veil

the stars refuse to die!

in this world

of darkest night

where hope is hurled away

there they are

and still there's light

oh so far

but will they.?

dare they lift our hearts

as we lift our eyes

are we fools to see

the hope that's gleaming in the skies?

look!

there's the light!

stars in the night!
