I pick up by the handful

the somber heap at my feet

eyes closed to see the hopeful 

trusting my deepest instinct 



I pick up by the handful

the somber heap at my feet

eyes closed to see the hopeful 

trusting my deepest instinct 



but I go on, 

dawning light, 

task of hope 



???

dawning light, 

task of hope 

???



at last dare to raise my eyes, 

I saw the ship in the stars 

strong of glittering fleet, 

bringing light to the new born 



I pick up by the handful

the somber heap at my feet

eyes closed to see the hopeful 

trusting my deepest instinct 



at last dare to raise my eyes, 

I saw the ship in the stars 

strong of glittering fleet, 

bringing light to the new born 



in a dawn light, 

task of hope, 

these are stars
