In the dark of night, stars shining bright,
Up high in the sky, twinkling so bright,
And down low on the ground, fireflies take flight,
Making the darkness seem not so far.

The moon is distant, but still in sight,
A glowing orb, shining so bright,
And yet the stars are still in sight,
As if they were close, near and light.

The stars keep shining, through the darkest night,
Guiding us, with their shining light,
And even though they're far, they're in sight,
Bringing comfort and joy, through the night.

So let's look up, high in the sky,
And see the stars, shining bright,
And know that even though they're far and high,
Their light will always be near and bright.
