I fell from my place in the sky
from my place in the heavens high.
Without my wings I fall to
the earth and away from you.

Within the earth’s shadows black,
to the heavens I look back
at the glow of ten-thousand stars
to the light of where you are.

Flightless now without you
I proceed on this cold earth to
begin my journey to places far
following you, the brightest star.

Cities to cities far away,
nowhere do I stop to stay.
But nowhere am I to find
a road that leads back to the sky.

Yet I press on through the night
even if you may fade from sight.
I’ll find my way back to where you are
as I journey on beneath the stars.
