Little children snuggle under soft black stars 
And if you look into their eyes, soft black stars 
Deliver them from the book and the letter and the word 
And let them read the silence bathed in soft black stars 

Let them trace the raindrops under soft black stars 
Let them follow whispers and scare away the night 
Let them kiss the featherbreath of soft black stars 
And let them ride their horses licked by the wind and the snow 

And tip-toe into twilight where we all one day will go 
Caressed with tenderness and with no fear at all 
Their faces shining river gold brushed by soft black stars 
And angels' wings shall soothe their cares 
And all the birds shall sing at dawn 
Blessed and wet with joy 

You and I will meet one day 
Under the night sky lit by soft black stars
