[Verse 1]
Outside, the night is changeless, stretching on
Until we reach some planet 'round a sun
And in all that aching darkness
From the ancient fires of hope a song is born
[Verse 2]
When you have been a traveler long as I
You learn to keep the loneliness at bay
You cherish all your comforts
Good friends, bright lights, and, just for me, a song
[Verse 3]
From world to world we roam and star to star
And so I am collecting as I go
The myriad, ceaseless songs that people often sing
Of comfort and of sorrow and of hope
[Verse 4]
The laughter and the yearning are the same
The difference and distances mean nothing
The music and the feeling speak equally and plain
Of human needs to human hearts alone
[Verse 5]
So when I sing the songs of distant stars
I'm saying, "Brother, sister, my heart's yours
"And if you are diminished, then I must share your pain
"And if my songs can touch you, I know joy
"I know joy."
