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

A voice from down the ages

So in haunting in its song

These ancient stones will tell us

Our love must make us strong

The breeze it wrapped around me

As 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

The truth will set us free

My mind was called across the years

Of rages and of strife

Of all the human misery

And all the waste of life

We wondered where our God was

In the face of so much pain

I looked up to the stars 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

Yet 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 is ours to hold the banner

Is ours to hold it long

It is ours to carry forward

Our love must make us strong

And as the warm 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

A voice from down the ages

So in haunting in its song

The ancient stones will tell us

Our love will make us strong
