The stars are far away that looked so near When I was in the desert far away So then it took awhile to realize These lonely stars are only planets now Though I am nearer those I love this way The stars within my heart and in my eyes Some who become the how within somehow And so I write about the night without The stars too far away I left out there Tonight too far without to write about But eyes with stars can see them everywhere That wonder under unfamiliar skies Within my heart when night turns then to day The stars that looked so far away are here +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXIV
