I pick up by the handful

the somber heap at my feet

eyes closed to see the hopeful

trusting my deepest instinct



I pick up by the handful

the somber heap at my feet

eyes closed to see the hopeful

trusting my deepest instinct



but I go on,

dawning light,

task of hope



???

dawning light,

task of hope

???



at last dare to raise my eyes,

I saw the ship in the stars

strong of glittering fleet,

bringing light to the new born



I pick up by the handful

the somber heap at my feet

eyes closed to see the hopeful

trusting my deepest instinct



at last dare to raise my eyes,

I saw the ship in the stars

strong of glittering fleet,

bringing light to the new born



in a dawn light,

task of hope,

these are stars
