You were the dream that survived Lost in the darkness of eternity You were the hope kept alive Embraced by tomorrows that we all could never quite see You had a beauty denied You were the moment, but here in this night Where your dream carries on Never quite there, but it's never quite gone You are the star that is wished upon forever You were the one that believed Long past when belief was a memory The child time would never concede Faith and tomorrow and all of the things that might be You had a beauty denied A glittering moment, but here in this night Where your dream carries on Never quite there, but it's never quite gone You are the star that is wished upon forever Do you believe in night? Does it hold you close? When you're at your last card Pray hard for the sun and holy ghost Still the night rolls on Brings you to your knees When you look back that far Each thought suddenly just starts to bleed The night it keeps burning While twisting and turning It's way to tomorrow It's joys and it's sorrows Our secrets beneath and we thrive Each day deeper than offer to barter But each deal is harder The clubs we keep changing While gliding through weddings Of nights till their morning Of dreams till their dawning While reaching for moments the world has forbidden The kindness inside them so carefully hidden The pages keep turning, but no one is learning They feed them to pirates to stoke up their fires Of ignorance, apathy, forfeiting, charity The flames they grow higher, but such be desired And Christ and Confucius are all their words useless We quote them in fractions, but not in our actions Aurelius and Hugo are damned and shall run The words they have written seem so quickly gone There's somewhere there's dirt that was once reddish mud From soaking up liquid that was a man's blood But both earth and God they have deemed to forgive So each year in the spring new flowers do live And of all of the others your favorite was wild But each time the story's all paired with such style Of fairytale kingdoms where all were safe children And no gardens have flown, so all children might use them And since that's the ending you valued the most We cling to that card Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Father, Son, and Holy But here in this night where your dream carries on You're never quite there, but it's never quite gone You are the star that is wished upon forever You are the star that is wished upon forever
