The night wind sighs above the trees,
The snow moon shines upon the sea.
When all the world falls hushed, asleep,
Who will stay awake with me?
The stars are bright above my face,
I gaze upon their quiet grace.
When the whole world sleeps, wrapped in a dream,
Who will share a dream with me?
The waves may rise, the tide may fall,
Like sun and moon, like spring and fall.
When time takes things I don’t agree,
Who will lock their hand with me?
As darkness falls across the land,
When the world lets go of my cold hand,
To warm my hope with wisdom deep,
Who will guard my soul for me?
To sail in the Nile and swim in the Seine,
To cross the Atlantic on a plane,
To roam the world in joyous glee,
Who will fall in love with me?
If I choose to walk away,
Chasing what my heart will say,
To wish me good and set me free,
Who will see the spark in me?
When I’m gone away one day,
When my absence fills the days,
Knowing I’ve lived for what I’ve dreamed,
Who will still believe in me?
In pelting rain and scorching heat,
Through calloused hands and aching feet,
To make the world a place to be,
Who will choose to live for me?
