I pick up by the handful
At last dare to raise my eyes
Strong of a glittering fleet
Trusting my deepest instinct
(But I go on)
Bringing light to the new born
I saw the ship in the stars
At last dare to raise my eyes
Task of hope
Strong of a glittering fleet
But I go on
Eyes closed to see the hopeful
Task of hope
These are stars
Trusting my deepest instinct
I pick up by the handful
Dawning light
(Dawning light)
The somber heap at my feet
Eyes closed to see the hopeful
In a dawn light
The somber heap at my feet
Eyes closed to see the hopeful
Trusting my deepest instinct
(Task of hope)
I saw the ship in the stars
