one fine day the sun failed to rise we all woke up to black and lonely skies how would we see and how would we grow? we all need the sun to live, you know! so we climbed into our amazing rocket ship 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 blast off! we’re headin’ for the sun so we flew into space and finally reached the sun and with our space megaphone, said, “shine, shine!” well that didn’t work ‘cause he was sleepin’ pretty deep so we got a runnin’ start and we jumped on him ‘til he laughed a belly laugh and opened up his eyes and brightened up the skies with his fire he said, “I guess I’m bone-tired from risin’ in the morn every single day since the universe was born!” we and our amaaaaaaaaazing rocket ship saved the day! one fine eve the moon failed to wax stayed a skinny little crescent while a whole long month passed who would bring the tides and who’d light up the night we need the moon to be full, that’s right! so we climbed into our amazing rocket ship 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 blast off! we’re headin’ to the moon so we flew into space and finally reached the moon with our space megaphone yelled, “shine, shine!” well that didn’t work she was too empty to fill up so we called the dish and spoon and said, “feed her!” and we got the dog to laugh and the cat to the play the fiddle and we even got the cow to jump over her until she filled right up into her chubby round self singing, “I was sad and lonely but the party’s sure here now!” we and our amaaaaaaaaazing rocket ship saved the day! one fine night the stars failed to come out nothin’ up there to twinkle about how would we wish, and navigate our way we need the stars to shine, we say! so we climbed into our amazing rocket ship 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 blast off! we’re headin’ to the stars so we flew into space and finally reached the stars with our space megaphone yelled, “shine, shine!” well that didn’t work the sky was still black as pitch so we closed our eyes and wished for a light switch and right then and there one materialized so we flicked it on the sky was filled with diamonds they said, “we love to blink and twinkle all night long but someone’s gotta remember to turn us on!” we and our amaaaaaaaaazing rocket ship saved the day!

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 blast off! how big is the moon? how many stars are there? how many molecules in a grain of sand? how many in a pancake? how many in the sun? can stars sing? what would this song sound like in outer space? where does the universe end? how did it get here?

comes and goes another year like the light that flies ‘tween us dear listen to the dry leaf fallin’ through the air what do you hear bodies earthy like trees growing minds like ocean water flowing hearts of love like fire burning spirits breathing shining learning we are stardust we are shiny we are huge and we are tiny we are ancient we are new we are me and we are you we are mother we are father we are son and we are daughter we are newborn we are olden we are stardust we are golden shine your soul upon your shadows ask them in for conversation hold it all in just this moment can you watch it fly away what is my love for you darlin’ sun or moon or ray of starshine now the flower hears the mornin’ singing’ love songs to the dew

the time has come night is falling fast the sun has set sky is steel gray the stars come out twinkling a lullaby hello to the nighttime so long to the day you’re safe, now, and warm and in the dreamtime the magic surely will come to gently hold your hand until night is done so close your eyes sweet child of mine and feel the love of all the world and go to sleep under the setting sun blanket of rainbow clouds pillow of song the stars come out twinkling a lullaby hello to the nighttime so long to the day

there goes the sun, slidin' down the sky there goes the sun, settin' here comes the moon, climbin' way up high here comes the moon, risin' sing me a song a little night song sing me a song for the evening sing me a song a little itty bitty night song sing me a little night music there goes the light, slippin' away there goes the light, fadin' here comes the dark, fallin' like rain here comes the dark, blanketing there goes the hummingbird, tucking in her joy there goes the hummingbird, quieting here comes the owl, with secrets in her eyes here comes the owl, she's flying

come here I’ll give you a moon hug hug you all day long and all night wide while star kisses rain down around us we're catchin' 'em here in our hearts now we’re shinin’ inside like the mountains climbing tall like the ocean waves that fall like the wind breathing through that is how I love you like the sun huge and hot like the tiniest raindrop like the buds opening new that is how I love you like the roots diving down like the branches reaching ‘round like the forest standing true that is how I love you like the earth’s gentle turning like the stars’ fiery burning like the moon round and blue that is how I love you

you can wander the wilderness sail the seven seas climb the highest mountain peaks cross the valleys traverse the driest deserts get pounded by the rain but the song in your heart is never goin' away you can dig deep down into the earth fly to a distant star searchin' for a treasure chest and riches from afar for diamonds and rubies golden coins and silver rings but the song in your heart is your most treasured thing you can't lose it, you can't break it you can't fudge it or fake it you can't sell it, you can't buy it and you sure can't deny it you can't trade it, loan it beg, borrow, steal or own it 'cause the song in your heart is with you for good so if you ever think you’ve lost it feel alone and scared and blue confused about which road to take don't know which path is true float quietly and listen like a bird upon the wing for the song in your heart and you will hear it sing
