Why are there so many stars up in Heaven What makes them shine so bright? Could they just be the souls of departed Watching on a cloudless night? Why are we downcast, on nights cold and soundless? When clouds shield those stars out of sight Is it the twinkle, or just pure and simple That they sparkle and twinkle all night.
Are they just lost souls, adrift in Heaven In search of a place they’d rather be Are they just random, or folk in tandem A part of a whole family.
(Instrumental interlude)
Why do stars disappear in the morning And they’re no longer in sight Why are they biding, could they be hiding While the whole world is lit with sunlight But come the evening, daytime relieving Once more the stars shine so bright As one after one, they slowly appear To sparkle both yellow and white Why does the moon come steal the glory While crossing the Heavens in flight? Though at first furtive, it becomes more assertive Until we are bathed in moonlight Then with the waning, without need of explaining Everything seems to come right As the stars again tremble and then reassemble With the sounds and the music of night.
Are they just lost souls, adrift in the Heavens In search of a place they’d rather be Or some just waiting, with friends congregating A part of the whole family. Awaiting for you, waiting for you Awaiting for you, for you and for me
