Lyrics

The moonlight, it was dancing on the waves out on the sea
 The stars of heaven hovered in a shimmering galaxy
 And a voice from down the ages, so haunting in its song
 These ancient stones will tell us our love must make us strong
 The breeze, it wrapped around me and I stood there on the shore
 And listened to this voice like I never heard before
 Our battles, they may find us, no choice may ours to be
 But hold the banner proudly and the truth will set us free
 My mind was called across the years of rages and of strife
 And all the human misery and all the waste of life
 We wondered where our God was in the face of so much pain
 And I looked up to the star above to find You once again
 We travelled the wide oceans, heard many call Your name
 With sword and gun and hatred it all seemed much the same
 Some used Your name for glory, some used It for their gain
 When liberty lay wanting, no lives were lost in vain
 Is it not our place to wonder as the sky does weep with tears
 And all the living creatures look on with mortal fear?
 It's ours to hold the banner, it's ours to hold it long
 It's ours to carry forward and our love must make us strong
 The haste of morn wind carried its song into the night
 I closed my eyes and tarried until the morning light
 As the last star, it shimmered and the new sun's day gave birth
 It was in this magic moment came this prayer for Mother Earth
 The moonlight, it was dancing on the waves out on the sea
 The stars of heaven hovered in a shimmering galaxy
 And a voice from down the ages, so haunting in its song
 These ancient stones will tell us our love must make us strong
