Beneath a Phrygian Sky

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
