As Satellites Go By

Every soul a brightness

And the darkest night

Every life a lightness

Space and time in flight

Being still in motion

Clouds go rushing by

A drop becomes an ocean

When the river's dry

Could it be we're stars' reflections

Tiny sparks in one great velvet sky

Perfect in our imperfection

As satellites go by

Firey constellations

Burning to the death

Tender our connections

In a single breath

Could it be we're stars' reflections

Tiny sparks in one great velvet sky

Perfect in our imperfection

As satellites go by

What are we anyway

But thousand year old carbon?

Bodies from the dust

Of souls that went before us.

What are we anyway

Of souls that went before us.

Could it be we're stars' reflections

Tiny sparks in one great velvet sky

Perfect in our imperfection
