This was supposed to be a commission for a choir but they never found the money so I wrote it for myself and they got to sing it anyway. It’s not finished. If you think you have a verse or two you’d like to add then have a go.
Starry night and starry night
And we were brave and we were bright
And as we sang with all our might
The moon came out to cheer us
This will go on through dynasties rang
Our muskets rattle our saucepans bang
And as we gathered and as we sang
The year came in to cheer us
This will go on though dynasties pass
To mark and circumscribe our listless lives
The staff of life in crumbs will fall
But we will walk this world with music
A perfect day, a perfect day
The last of April the first of May
And as we dance and as we play
The Sun comes up to cheer us
This will go on through dynasties pass
To mark and circumscribe our listless lives
The staff of life in crumbs will fall
But we will walk this world with music
A final day, a final day
And how your breath it slips away
And as we sing your chosen hymn
We stand and wonder can you hear us?
This will go on through dynasties pass
To mark and circumscribe our listless lives
The staff of life in crumbs will fall
But we will walk this world with music
