Kathy Mar Behold Lyrics

Behold Lyrics

As in the tribal ritual passed down from ancient days



Take all your newborn children out beyond the city blaze



And raise your children overhead to sable skies above



Present them to the universe, and say to them with love:







Chorus:	 Behold, my child, the only thing that's greater than you are



	 The sable field of distant space, afire with every star



	 Behold it in humility, but never lose your way



	 You'll walk upon that sable field of distant stars one day







There is no greater goal for them than swimming seas of space



I hope that, for the future's sake, they grow in truth and grace



Remembering the lessons learned on this poor misused earth



To be the stewards to the stars and the planet of their birth















Words and music:Kathy Mar
