The moonlight it was dancing   On the waves, out on the sea   The stars of heaven hovered   In a shimmering galaxy      A voice from down the ages   So in haunting in it's song   These ancient stones will tell us   Our love must make us strong      The breeze it wrapped around me   As I stood there on the shore   And listened to this voice   Like I never heard before      Our battles they may find us   No choice may ours to be   But hold the banner proudly   The truth will set us free      My mind was called across the years   Of rages and of strife   Of all the human misery   And all the waste of life      We wondered where our God was   In the face of so much pain   I looked up to the stars above   To find you once again      We travelled the wide oceans   Heard many call your name   With sword and gun and hatred   It all seemed much the same      Some used your name for glory   Some used it for their gain   Yet when liberty lay wanting   No lives were lost in vain      Is it not our place to wonder   As the sky does weep with tears   And all the living creatures   Look on with mortal fear      It is ours to hold the banner   Is ours to hold it long   It is ours to carry forward   Our love must make us strong      And as the warm wind carried   Its song into the night   I closed my eyes and tarried   Until the morning light      As the last star it shimmered   And the new sun's day gave birth   It was in this magic moment   Came this prayer for mother earth      Reprise:      The moonlight it was dancing   On the waves, out on the sea   The stars of heaven hovered   In a shimmering galaxy      A voice from down the ages   So in haunting in it's song   The ancient stones will tell us
