Little children snuggle under soft black stars   And if you look into their eyes soft black stars   Deliver them from the book and the letter and the word   And let them read the silence bathed in soft black stars   Let them trace the raindrops under soft black stars   Let them follow whispers and scare away the night   Let them kiss the featherbreath of soft black stars   And let them ride their horses licked by the wind and the snow   And tip-toe into twilight where we all one day will go   Caressed with tendrils and with no fear at all   Their faces shining river gold washed with soft black stars   And angels' wings shall soothe their cares   And all the birds shall sing at dawn   Blessed and wet with joy   You and I will meet one day   Under a nightsky lit by soft black stars
