Lyrics
I should be under the stars tonight thinking about the speed of light
I may linger in the darkness adrift, ignoring the truth
Love is such an awesome feeling; true love is so revealing
How did I know, long ago It would be this way today?
Can we rise above the ordinary?
Maybe on a shimmering thread
We could float delicately as a summer night’s breeze
And awaken to a nuance of becoming, of reality
As I lay under the stars tonight wrestling with wrong, questioning right
How can I calm my mind To let my spirit free?
This passion for living is ours to bear
A passion for knowing flowers in there
The melody flows tenderly in my ear and through my body
Beckoning like fire flies
Sparkling on a peaceful river
A sweet, warm mist climbs into the night lush with magic
Pushing ever closer to insight, to destiny
A shooting star marks the sky with a lasting trail
to the universe, a journey that awaits us
