The Star
Howling wolves and barking dogs,
Fist clenched tight until fingers hurt,
Blood in the veins throbs like a bird,
Faith and Hope and Love on the Earth.
Scores of bare hands are voting like one,
Flying high's our flag.
Deep dark-blue sky and the circle of sun,
All in place yet the life hit a snag.
High in the night sky the star shines bright,
No one but her can help us in this fight,
When darkness falls on the Earth at night,
Night.
Night arrived, then storm came around,
Somber rain, and jester the wind.
Hands in the pockets, eyes are down,
And the tongues behind teeth.
My silent longing still gnaws at me,
She's the faithful soulmate of mine.
Go on a bat, drink, dance and sing,
I'm with you for now.
High in the night sky the star shines bright,
No one but her can help us in this fight,
When darkness falls on the Earth at night,
Night.
High in the night sky the star shines bright,
No one but her can help us in this fight,
When darkness falls on the Earth at night,
Night.

Maybe use of gender can be footnoted, but it was perfectly personified, IMHO, for both star and sorrow
Btw, I can now better explain why there are few thanks. I went thru several, ok too many, songs today and some made me think about all the subtlety in meanings that was previously lost on me. I just now realized I didn't leave many thanks where most were appreciated. I'll be mindful of that.
Glad you stayed.

I realize that pressing "Thanks"
is really hard for most of you, yet
you should keep on trying...
