Guardian of the Night

Guardian of the night

Quickly take your place tonight

Shine amongst the stars so bright

With your soft silvery light

Guide the lost in the darkness’s cold

Keep them in your comforting glow

Shine the path to their home

Or the path they chose to roam

Dance with the stars in the sky

Across the celestial plains, fly!

From there watch the sleeping souls below

And keep them safe, sound and whole

As the star studded sky you tread

Mark every tear that sheds

And show even though you seem alone

You are never ever really on your own

Oh Guardian of the night

Fail not your duty tonight!

To maintain hope in darkness as the earth turns

And the sun once more returns
