A SONG: THE PROMISE OF THE STARS
|
These are the signs of hope for our people. These are the signs that the years of fear and pain will soon be past.
No man alive can go alone into the world of the night. No man alone can go beyond the stars that keep watch above. These the stars are a sign to us. These bright jewels of the sky. This the sky is a pledge of trust. The stars in the sky are a promise to our time that our children and their children shall endure.
Everyone everywhere looks at the sky we see. Everyone everywhere knows that the stars will always endure. No one anywhere need fear, For the stars in the sky are the signs that ensure that our people and our world shall prevail.
Go forth in strength my friends in faith under the flag of the sky. Ring out a song of justice on the way and the way is sure. Beat your swords in the flame of truth into the ploughshares of peace. Forge a union across the earth. Join with the stars in a psalm of praise to peace that all nations and all peoples be one.
Everyone, everywhere, has a place in the culture of peace. Everyone, everywhere, has a hand in the chain that links us all in love. No one anywhere is lost, For the way has been found in the promise of the stars that our people and our world shall be won.
The sky speaks to us all. It speaks in the stars.
