I take the night sky in my hand
And bathe in second-hand sunlight
A chance for enlightened reflection
To seek meditation at midnight
To travel though light years of musing
Recycling my thoughts and my insight
I take the night sky in my hand
And bathe in second-hand sunlight
Now, from the night sky, on my face
A droplet of second-hand sea
Whose parents were stormclouds and whirlpools
The morning's wet tears on a tree
Plus myriad others since water was young
Once even a T-Rex's pee
Hmm.
Now, from the night sky, on my face
A droplet of second-hand sea
I take my instrument in hand
And sing a second-hand song
I pluck the words of humankind
And string them most kindly along
I use only words born before me
So no-one can tell me I'm wrong
I take my instrument in hand
And sing a second-hand song
