Lyrics, Morning View (2001)

“At least, above us, stars shine,
tiny pieces of heaven that overflowing
with happiness and absorb our tiredness.
Every heart's a star within,
that echoing the bliss of eternity.
every star's a aflame heart
that holds our hand”

“At least, above us, stars shine,
tiny pieces of heaven that overflowing
with happiness and absorb our tiredness.
Every heart's a star within,
that echoing the bliss of eternity.
every star's a aflame heart
that holds our hand”

“I understood by my reason and by my feeling of my pains that I should die; and I assented fully with all the will of my heart to be at God’s will.
Thus I dured till day, and by then my body was dead from the middle downwards, as to my feeling. Then was I minded to be set upright, backward leaning, with help, — for to have more freedom of my heart to be at God’s will, and thinking on God while my life would last.”

My heart untraveled fondly turns to thee;
Still to my brother turns with ceaseless pain,
And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.”

“Star of my heart, I follow from afar.”

Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931) American poet

Star Of My Heart (1913)
Context: Star of my heart, I follow from afar.
Sweet Love on high, lead on where shepherds are,
Where Time is not, and only dreamers are.
Star from of old, the Magi-Kings are dead
And a foolish Saxon seeks the manger-bed.
O lead me to Jehovah's child
Across this dreamland lone and wild,
Then will I speak this prayer unsaid,
And kiss his little haloed head—
"My star and I, we love thee, little child."

“I feel the stars. Each sparkle sets aflame the pain in my heart.”
