Starlight

Do you ever stare at the stars

Your hand grasping at atmosphere

Your fingertips slipping around their edges

Imprinting their light in my eyes

Do you ever wonder how they

Shine amidst the dark

That their light is not

Swallowed by the black

How is it that we are standing here

Against all of the darkness

Amid all of the starlight

That we never thought to look

Over the horizon

To a place where there’s only starlight

A place where there’s only starlight

Don’t you ever dream of

Dancing in pure starlight

No need to be scared of falling off

Here we are merely dreaming

Don’t you ever wonder

If you could shine as bright

Full of a night’s glow

Still I could see you imprinted in my eyes

How is it that we are standing here

Against all of the darkness

Amid all of the starlight

That we never thought to look

Over the horizon

To a place where there’s only starlight

A place where there’s only starlight

It must be your hand holding mine tight

So I cannot slip

I cannot fall off the edge of the world

It must be your hand holding mine tight

I cannot fall

It must be the light
