Starlight
A baby
A baby
Starlight
A mother
A mother

The mother and the child
Reaching for eternity
The mother and the child
There is a story to be told
Oh the child
The call to destiny

He will grow
He will grow
He will grow
He will grow

Dark night
A man dies
A man dies
Dark night
A man lies
A man lies

The mother and the child
Crying out infinity
The mother and the child
There is a story to be told
Oh the child
The call to destiny
He will grow
He will grow
He will grow
He will grow

Sunlight
A man walks
A man walks
Sunlight
A man talks
A man talks

The mother and the man
The gentleness of a love that dreams
The mother and the man
The story of the universe is told
Oh the child
In his presence we are heard

To be known
We are known
To be known
We are known

The mother and the man
The beauty of a love that sings
The mother and the man
The spirit of the universe unfolds
Oh the child
In his presence we are seen

To be known
We are known
To be known
We are known
