*The moonlight*
It was dancing On the waves,
out on the sea The stars of heaven hovered
In a shimmering galaxy
A voice from down the ages So haunting in its song
These ancient stones will tell us
Our love must make us strong
The breeze it wrapped around me
As I stood there on the shore And listened to this voice
Like I never heard before
Our battles they may find us No choice may ours to be
But hold the banner proudly The truth will set us free
My mind was called across the years Of rages and of strife
Of all the human misery And all the waste of life
We wondered where our God was In the face of so much pain
I looked up to the stars above To find you once again
We travelled the wide oceans Heard many call your name
With sword and gun and hatred It all seemed much the same
Some used your name for glory Some used it for their gain
Yet when liberty lay wanting No lives were lost in vain
Is it not our place to wonder As the sky does weep with tears
And all the living creatures Look on with mortal fear
It is ours to hold the banner Is ours to hold it long
It is ours to carry forward Our love must make us strong
And as the warm wind carried Its song into the night
I closed my eyes and tarried Until the morning light
As the last star it shimmered
And the new sun's day gave birth
It was in this magic moment
Came this prayer for mother earth
Reprise:
The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea
The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy
A voice from down the ages So haunting in its song
The ancient stones will tell us
Our love must make us strong!
