Look at those darkened skies,
Clouded by the night
See also balls of fire
Shining with great might
They pierce the growing shadow
And set the world a-light
Torches in a soldier�s hand
They aid the runner�s sight
From our meager vantage point
We see but one small piece
Of that, our mourning veil
That offers us release;
Freedom from the pain,
We hide and fear the peace
For, the world shall go on living
And the stars will go on burning
And all will be, the way it is,
When lives cease
So catch a fallen star
And make a wish tonight
That as a dream is dying,
You might have strength to fight
That as you go on living
You can make just one thing right
And the stars will shine upon you
And the world will spin behind you
The night will never touch you
In your flight
