Life is nothing, not a thing Nothing less than everything What force propels the shooting star The blood of suns is who we are
Music of the spheres Beyond our mortal ears We can hear you in the soul Where the bells of heaven toll
Starlight, starbright First star I see tonight No selfish wish have I to make Shine on, shine on for your own sake
Vast and ancient distant star How I wonder what you are Solemn mystery you reveal Only life alone is real
Floral gardens in the sky Eternal blossoms flashing by Galaxies of columbine Nasturtium, rose and clinging vine
Starlight, starbright First star I see tonight No selfish wish have I to make Shine on, shine on for your own sake
Haunting voices free of form Babies crying to be born A brook beside yon garden runs Galaxies of streaming suns
Big bang trickles to an end Falls in upon itself again Like the sailor's concertina For his lovely ballerina
Starlight, starbright First star I see tonight No selfish wish have I to make Shine on, shine on for your own sake
Starlight, starbright First star I see tonight No selfish wish have I to make Shine on, shine on for your own sake Shine on, shine on for your own sake Shine on, shine on for your own sake Shine on, shine on for your own sake Shine on, shine on for your own sake
