Under Starry Skies

Under Starry Skies

 

Oh starry skies

Silent wonder before my eyes

Please for this Christmas

Grant me this Christmas wish

 

That all people of this Earth

Can find inner love and its worth

To openly care for each other

All the world’s sisters and brothers

 

If warring countries could just desist

Shake hands and simply co-exist

Voices unite and sing out loud

Quiet harmony to make Heaven proud

 

Let the foolishness of man

Prove to him the need for a better plan

This planet we don’t own

Just the custodians we must be shown

 

Oh starry skies

That shine upon our eyes

What this world needs more of

Your influence of compassion and love

 

A Christmas gift to Earth from all of us

To live in peace so courageous

With voices that harmonize

Under starry skies
