Light From a Distant Star

Travelers on a small planet Above us the universe Daring to challenge the eternal We hold our small flag aloft in the midst of a raging sea As the eyes of the world see our situation Doubt fills us But then - like a roman candle a sudden burst of light! As we huddle together Our fires continue to burn Our faces lit up with light from a distant star Eyes glowing we walk towards the future Passing over seas of sorrow we catch glimpses of rainbows from the beyond Soon we'll know the sweet sight Of flowers bursting into bloom We'll dance over raging seas And when we finally find port we'll understand, yes we'll understand
