Starlight burn bright 
countless eons of time 
have you burned that way for a billion years 
glittering ever brightly 
and I see earthrise, our eyes 
how much longer to go 
little sphere of dirt that we live upon 
trembling in its last throes 
and I say no man, all can 
carry part of the load 
do you have to get paid for survival 
in your old age 
look at your child will he follow you 
take another look 'cause your baby's liable to die 
politicians have their say, you once mattered 
but you're in the way, why do we let these 
people run our lives, 
for the country isn't run by the statesmen now 
but by the gentry who see 
and I see starbright, cold light 
shining through the night.
