Blissful, Boundless Light

Inspired by my recollections of the children's television series Big Blue Marble, which I enjoyed as a child in the 70s. . .

Moon, caress my face
And light this dark vale somehow.
Moon, reveal a place
Beyond this cold and foggy now.

Moon, smile if you can smile;

Keep me company as I journey on.

Moon, go the extra mile;

Light my way till I reach that final dawn...

And on that day I'll gaze upon

The wonderful golden Sun

Who will drive away our troubles,

Lift the veil of sadness,

And flood this big blue marble

With peace, love, and gladness.

Daystar, magnificently bright,

Bathe us in blissful, boundless light.

Stars, what do you know

That I have yet to understand?

Stars, does my love hold

My weary soul in his hand?

Stars, smile if you can smile;

Keep me company as I journey on.

Stars, go the extra mile;

Light my way till I reach that final dawn...

And on that day I'll gaze upon

The wonderful golden Sun

Who will drive away our troubles,

Lift the veil of sadness,

And flood this big blue marble

With peace, love, and gladness.

Daystar, magnificently bright,

Bathe us in blissful, boundless light.

Light, brighter than the brightest star,

Sweeter than our splendid honeyed Moon,

Though our hearts have wandered far,

Fill us with a hopeful, happy tune,

And tell us it's true

That you are making all things new.

Help me see...Help me believe...

And I know someday I'll gaze upon

The wonderful golden Sun

Who will drive away our troubles,

Lift the veil of sadness,

And flood this big blue marble

With peace, love, and gladness.

Daystar, magnificently bright,

Bathe us in blissful, boundless light.
