...conversing with the evening star, and realizing
that I'd never heard music in support of the
familiar childhood mantra. So I wrote some. Verses
soon followed. Song happens.
I asked Jon to be childlike in his sax solo, and
it reminded me of when we all learned to play
tonettes in Mr. Tausig's 6th grade.
REFRAIN
Starlight star bright, first star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I wish
tonight
Shine on people of the earth; make us worthy of
our birth
Brighten paths through dark of night, that we
might walk in truth and light
Shine on children everywhere; keep them safe and
free from care
Feed their bodies, souls and minds, that they
might bless this world in kind
REFRAIN
Shine on animals and plants; illuminate their
lifelong dance
Light the land, the sky and sea, and all that
share Life's mystery
Little beacon out in space, shine upon the human
race
Grant this humble, hopeful prayer: for peace to
flourish everywhere
REFRAIN
