Music of the Spheres

Music of the Spheres


There is a music found in heaven's light
that we alone can only barely hear;
a symphony of stars and planets bright.

A melody of motion in the night;
a haunting song above the atmosphere.
There is a music in the heaven's light.

With notes that swirl in subtle shades of white,
the opus of the universe rings clear;
a symphony of stars and planets bright.

The music celebrates the heaven's plight,
the birth and death of stars both far and near.
There is a music found in heaven's light.

Each theme unique, yet blended with such might
that harmony from chaos can appear.
A symphony of stars and planets bright.

Creation's hymn plays out within our sight
in dulcet tones of sadness and good cheer.
There is a music found in heaven's light -
a symphony of stars and planets bright.
