these are the first stars tonight

and for the rest of my life



these are the first words i’ll say

into the dark of today

you are my first love at last

now that time is slipping so fast



wait for might

after my strength has fallen

wait for hope to rise

wait for life

to rush in the air i’m breathing

if you help me through i’ll try



these are the first stars in sight

maybe my last glimpse of light



…these are the first stars
