Lyrics
Shadow of a Star
He swallows the moon
Embraces her every move
Finds faces in the shadow of a star
Every girl loves a woman
Every boy loves a man
Every child is human
Everyone walks this land
A sacred place to be
Where everything is given for free
Why have we eyes to see
Why have we ears to listen
Why have we hands to hold
Why have we hearts to open
The waters are here to wash the fears away
The trees are here to cool you in the shade
Birds wing morning songs and lullabies
Here we speak eye to eye
Why have we songs to sing
Why have we souls to nourish
Why have we tears to fall
Why have we smiles and courage
Why have we hearts
