Every Star Is a Burning Flame

歌詞

I pulled the car off to the side and walked along a starry hill in Idaho A golden moon was rolling by, the ridge was like a window sill and I don't know If I was on the outside looking in Like maybe all the borders of the world were getting thin And I could see the sky the way it's gonna be again Every star is a burning flame Every star is a burning flame Well yesterday I trimmed the vines and spread the leaves along the ground in Tennessee And I tried to hold it in my mind that all the light that's coming down takes ages to get to me And I was on the inside looking out I was lifted by a solar wind up over the clouds And I could hear the hosts of heaven singing out loud Every star is a burning flame Every star is a burning flame I remember Mr. Green and I were walking down a busy street in Louisville The sign said Merton looked around and all the people passing by were shining like the sun and beautiful And the wonder of it caught him by surprise Oh Lord, I want to see the world with those eyes I want to look into the night and see a million suns rise Rise All the heat comes running at the speed of light From the reaches of space to these faces tonight And every heart is a burning flame Every heart is a burning flame
