Lyrics
Sun goes down, ocean is black
Just a few hours til the light comes back
traveling time, hope in our hearts
Wonder in the sky, the stars make art
with constellations
constellations
who's out there
in the ancient glow
messages from a thousand years ago
Did they see Jesus
See the fall of Rome
take photos of dinosaurs
lightyears from home
in the constellations
Constellations
The Mayans looked up and sought the truth
Galileo he wanted proof
cosmic dancers in our own backyards
looking for answers
we're children
Children of the stars
so many secrets, blessing and a curse
to try to know our place in the whole universe
spending our time, hope in our hearts
scanning the sky, playing our part
in the constellations
CHORUS
The Mayans looked up and sought the truth
Galileo he wanted proof
cosmic dancers in our own backyards
looking for answers
we're children
Children of the stars
Saw a shooting star
Just before the dawn
Swear it was there, but I looked back
and it was gone
