Now it appears After clouded mornings of obscurity It brought me here To prepare a palette for infinity When the sunlight fades away The fragments of the day Glitter like smoke through a kaleidoscope The sight of the starry night Makes me hope It's clear to see The night uncovers richer colors than the day If you look carefully, you'll notice there's no darkness No black or brown or gray The sky is full of light Swirling in spirals, bold and bright Circling through its golds and greens The sight of the starry night Makes me dream God, let my brushstrokes become interwoven Keep me alive, clarified, and unbroken Let me ascend into steady emotion Give me the strength against all my erosion Are these the colors of my legacy? When what's hanging on a wall Is the only thing that's left of me Do the answers wait for us afar? Until death takes us up to a star? What happens when we die? The answer's in the sky The dawn's no guarantee But the sight of the starry night The sight of the starry night Makes me free It makes me free
