From the blinding cold of darknessComes the sight of radiant warmthCosmic strings that hold our existenceYes, even home sweet Earth
Milk and honeyFrom the honeybee and cowAir and waterFrom the trees and streamsTime and seasonsFrom the sun and moon
As all must come to its endThe sun, too, must novaBut from its remnantsA new star starts over
