The Starry Night

Now it appears
After clouded mornings of obscurity
It brought me here
To prepare a palette for infinity

When the sunlight fades away
The fragments of the day
Glitter like smoke through a kaleidoscope
The sight of the starry night
Makes me hope

It's clear to see
The night uncovers richer colors than the day
If you look carefully, you'll notice there's no darkness
No black or brown or gray

The sky is full of light
Swirling in spirals, bold and bright
Circling through its golds and greens
The sight of the starry night
Makes me dream

God, let my brushstrokes become interwoven
Keep me alive, clarified, and unbroken
Let me ascend into steady emotion
Give me the strength against all my erosion

Are these the colors of my legacy?
When what's hanging on a wall
Is the only thing that's left of me
Do the answers wait for us afar?
Until death takes us up to a star?

What happens when we die?
The answer's in the sky
The dawn's no guarantee
But the sight of the starry night
The sight of the starry night
Makes me free

It makes me free
