"Space Widow's Lament"

[Skyedaughter]

To all fare and hearty mates. I thought I'd provide a bit of a "teaser" (Old Earth PR slang for something to grab the attention and create a desire for the reader to want to .... (buy, help ... in this case, come to the Grand Opening of Hope's Haven)
I will be breaking out this new song for the first time on any planet or ship. Hope you enjoy the words and will want to come and hear the song ~ Skye

Star Children

1.

We are children of the night
with starburn in our souls.
If you step out of the light
youll feel the urge to follow.

And well never stop til we get it right;
well never stop til we can fly.


2.

It was so long ago,
we learned to love the night sky.
And though we couldnt go,
we watched the stars dancing high.

And oh, how we burned in our dreams
with the longing to fly.


Chorus

Star children, its part of our history;
born longing to fly from the moment we could breathe.
Stardust twined round our DNA,
built in to guide us on our way.


3.

It was drawn on the walls of ancient caves,
the others who came long ago to point the way,
to rise up and leave the Earth below,
to fly on fire, the bravest of the brave.

And oh how the visions burned in our dreams,
and oh how we counted the days.


4.

Now the sky is filled with light,
and star ships come and go.
And we fly with delight
watching galaxies turn, to and fro.

And now we are the lights burning in the sky
while others watch from below, longing to fly.


Chorus

Star children, its part of our history;
born longing to fly from the moment we could breathe.
Stardust twined round our DNA,
built in to guide us on our way.


5.

We tell the stories to the little ones,
the fame and glory; and touching the Suns.
We see the starburn in their little eyes
as we kiss them, each and everyone.

And oh, how they burn in their dreams
With the longing to touch the unseen.


6. (Reprise Verse 1)

We are children of the night
with starburn in our souls.
If you step out of the light
youll feel the urge to follow.

And well never stop til we get it right;
Well never stop til we can fly.
And we never stopped til we could fly (fade)
