Dark Sky

Look up at the heavens above
 I know there's so much more
 Blinded by light
 The stars above were there before
 My father took me by the hand
 And showed me the wonders of the sky
 Explored the depths of outer space
 Time travel with the naked eye
 We destroy the earth
 Sell her out for gold and oil
 We erased the stars in heaven
 Allowed our once dark sky to spoil
 A synthetic amber glow of ignorance
 Cancels out my beloved stars
 I once saw constellations infinite
 Now my space bares human scars
 I can't see the light that hides in the dark
 I am blinded by light that destroys the night
 Turn the night in to day I can't see heaven this way
 I want my children to see what I saw
 What I saw
 What I now can't see
