A Spark In The Dark
This is the story of a Star in the sky,
of where we all come from and the answer to "why?"
It's about a blue ball, a mountain and tree,
a light in our hearts, and our reason to be.
A long time ago, when the sky was still dark...
In a faraway corner flashed a bright little spark.
It grew into a Star, way up in the sky,
Since no one was there, no one asked "why?"
The star loved the darkness, it helped it to shine,
but was all by itself for a very long time.
and the Star grew lonely up there in the night,
with nothing to shine on or receive its star light.
So it made a blue ball, and spun it around.
It was pretty to look at, but way too far down.
So the star made a mountain grow up from the sea,
and said to itself, "Now it's nearer to me."
But the mountain just sat there, did nothing at all.
So it put a green tree on the little blue ball.
Now the Star had the water, the moutain and tree,
but still was not happy - how could that be?
As the Star looked around and pondered its plight,
it spied down below its reflections of light -
Down on the water they danced and they swam,
The Star had an idea! The Star had a plan...
It took a deep breath, 'til it started to strain,
then starbeams fell down on the mountain, like rain.
They burst into Beings of bright colored light.
They could feel, they could hear, they could see every sight!
They ran, they skipped, they tumbled and played
on the mountain and tree that the Star had just made.
And the Star was so happy with what it had done,
it fell asleep in the sky, tired out from the fun.
When day turned to night, the Star opened its eyes,
to twinkling lights that filled up the skies.
What happens, you see...in each child's heart
glows a piece of the Star, of which we're all part.
In the sky up above, as each child dreams -
like the water, the darkness refleets their light beams.
While the children all sleep on the blue ball below,
their lights twinkle above in a beautiful glow.
The star was delighted, its sparkled with glee,
surrounded by lights from within You and Me.
So remember, tonight as you sleep in your bed,
a light from within shines over your head.
And that is the story of a world that began,
with all little children as part of the plan.
No matter the color, the shape big or small,
the Star loved them all on the little blue ball.
