A Million Lights
A million lights above me
Candles in the sky
Beacons in the dark of night
Cannot tell me why.
This fragile rock we live on
Trivial and lone
A home so small and simple
The only one we own.
Many voices on the wind
Striving to be heard
No matter how you dress us up
We’re petty and absurd.
A million lights above me
Darkness here below
Can’t we all just get along?
We’ve nowhere else to go.
