Counting Stars

Dreaming in gold
In gold and in green
Rolling hills and woodland
And places in between
The rain setting in
As autumn follows summer

The order of things
Day turns into night
Earth spinning round and round
From darkness to light
Facing the sky
Watching the sunset
And moonrise

Underneath the heavens counting stars and distant worlds
Gleaming like a hint of something
Gold set in the earth

Just out of reach
The hope that remains
But all things turn full circle
And come around again
Winter to spring
Snowfall to sunshine

Underneath the heavens counting stars and distant worlds
Gleaming like a hint of something
Gold set in the earth

Lay bare your heart
Let in the light
And then, outrun your fear
Put it out of sight

You can choose any path
But aim for the heights
While you make good your words
Make all you touch seem right

Underneath the heavens counting stars and distant worlds
Gleaming like a hint of something
Gold set in the earth
