Across the world tonight, 
There are ships of light 
Shining down on everyone 
From the darkest shores to 
Marble corridors 
A new age has begun 
I've got no explanation how 
Those ships came to be there 
Illuminating the nations everywhere 
Across the world tonight, 
There's a wondrous sight 
And we gaze with childlike eyes 
We can only guess as we hold our breath 
Where the future lies 
Something beautiful's coming 
Somehow I know there beyond the dawn 
We've been left in the darkness for too long  

And tomorrow when we rise 
We'll see with other eyes 
And know at last that we belong 
We'll reach out to the skies 
And find the answers there 
That we've been searching for so long 
Across the world tonight  

Across the world tonight, 
Around the firelight 
The stories have begun 
How it came to be 
Hhis night of mystery 
Of wonders yet to come 
I've got no explanation how 
Those ships came to be there 
Illuminating the nations everywhere 
Something beautiful's coming 
Somehow I know there beyond the down 
We've been left in the darkness for too long.
