In The Sky At Night
Have you ever been left speechless by the awesome sight of a star-filled night sky? This song describes the wonder you feel as you look through the 'window of the universe'. It features a lengthy alto solo designed for an intensely emotional performance, as well as a climactic final polyphonic chorus that soars into the heavens before coming back down to end on a single final note. For the 'Cosmos' fan in us all!

When I look up into the sky at night In the darkest hours before the morning light There’s a presence and a power that takes my breath away Like nothing I have ever felt in the light of day When the stars are revealed, one by one No longer outshined by the brightness of the sun And all the old familiar pictures materialize Right before my eyes I can feel their silent blessing as I breathe I can almost feel the motion as the earth spins underneath It’s funny how you can feel so small And still feel like a part of it all When you’re looking through the window of the universe In the sky at night The problems of the daytime are instantly forgotten As I stare into the boundless frontier I try to comprehend how far each beam of light has travelled Before it shimmers through the atmosphere It’s hard to be distracted By the constant stream of superficial thoughts Flowing along inside my head When my heart is full of wonder and surprise Feeling the spark behind my eyes It's the force that has ignited every star And I feel their silent blessing as I breathe I can almost feel the motion as the earth spins underneath It’s funny how you can feel so small And still feel like a part of it all When you’re looking through the window of the universe In the sky at night
