My eyes have seen the glory of a million dazzling stars,

We gathered them together into jars and jars and jars.

Pierced them on branches, built a bonfire, ate the fiery treats,

Singing to Hell with veggies, dairy and even all meats.

It was hopeful; it was happy; and best of all was free.

We shared them with some strangers then we danced upon the sea.

I've never had a better dream at night or in the day,

And when the dance was over, we fell tired upon the sand.

It was warm; it was cozy, being held in God's large hand.
