I pulled the car off to the side and walked along a starry hill in Idaho
     F                              Bb                             F            Bb
A golden moon was rolling by, the ridge was like a window sill and I don't know
   Dm                           Bb
If I was on the outside looking in
       Dm                            Bb
Like maybe all the borders of the world were getting thin
    C
And I could see the sky the way it's gonna be again


[Chorus]
        Dm                Bb
Every star is a burning flame
        Dm                Bb
Every star is a burning flame

Well yesterday I trimmed the vines and spread the leaves along the ground in Tennessee
         F                              Bb                                     F               Bb
And I tried to hold it in my mind that all the light that's coming down takes ages to get to me
    Dm                           Bb
And I was on the inside looking out
        Dm                        Bb
I was lifted by a solar wind up over the clouds
    C
And I could hear the hosts of heaven singing out loud


[Chorus]
        Dm                Bb
Every star is a burning flame
        Dm                Bb
Every star is a burning flame

I remember Mr. Green and I were walking down a busy street in Louisville
      F                                 Bb                               F                        Bb
The sign said Merton looked around and all the people passing by were shining like the sun and beautiful
          Dm                          Bb
And the wonder of it caught him by surprise
Dm                           Bb
Oh Lord, I want to see the world with those eyes
           C
I want to look into the night and see a million suns rise
Dm  Bb  Dm   Bb
Rise,   Rise


[Bridge]
         Dm                          Bb
All the heat comes running at the speed of light
           Dm                        Bb
From the reaches of space to these faces tonight


[End Chorus]
           Dm                  Bb
And every heart is a burning flame
        Dm                   Bb
Every heart is a burning flame
