Analysis of Starry Eyes
Riven Rose 2005 (United States)
Lift your head up, Starry Eyes
Let the heavens fill your sight
Star-crossed lover of the skies
Lift your head up, Starry Eyes
The fiery orb in all its might
Offers daylight as he flies
Star-crossed lover of the skies,
The gentle queen that rules the night
Brings the sea to lows and highs
Lift your head up, Starry Eyes
Sprinkled stars that lend their light
In their story tell no lies
Star-crossed lover of the skies,
Vibrant nebulae ignite
Distance betrays august size
Lay your head down, Starry Eyes
Everything you see is right.
Star-crossed lover of the skies,
Hear the cosmos harmonize.
