Beautiful Is This Night

Swirling in a pool of countless diamonds in a galaxy of grace
Orbiting a jewel shining brightly through the vastness of all space
Here beneath the stars we lie
Gazing up and wondering why
Breathing in an open sky
A window to behold
A message to our eyes so clear
A violent silence drawing near
Yet nestled in this glitter
Is the sparkle of our soul

Beautiful is this night
Beautiful is the Moon
In our hearts the sun rises
Soon enough there’ll be light
Breaking through our cocoon
If we’re wanting to we will

Overcoming barriers the intricate yet fragile ones we weave
Stepping to a future so naked we can honestly believe
With nothing of ourselves to hide
Pure acceptance all implied
Wealthy we will be and wise
Grounded here on Earth
Tending to the fire
To the forests, to the open seas
A voice within a choir
Proclaiming our rebirth

Chorus

This night is beautiful; It’s just so beautiful
So beautiful; This night is beautiful

Do we love one another
Or fall into a hole of insanity
When all we’ve got is each other
Could we please . . . Embrace a common humanity
And break through to see
Break through to see how

Chorus
