Giant Ball of Gas

Ball of gas burning with vengeance
As we all stare up in wonder
Thee take ten million years to define
Yet we take for granted your brightness
In this time and in this place
So few know your meaning
As you sparkle through the dark
Even in day you light up our lives*
You feel so near, yet you're so far
No matter how much we mortals know
We'll forever wish upon your beauty
