What would the night be without stars,
as if they all died one by one?
Climbing higher what would men reach for?
What would dreamers wish upon?
And want of sky stories, space scrutiny
and Greek Mythology?
Sailors forever lost at sea.
What would become of heaven as we know it?
Souls without a light to guide them.
Would my heart still beat in the dark?
