Dark Sky

Look up at the heavens above

I know there's so much more

Blinded by light

The stars above were there before

My father took me by the hand

And showed me the wonders of the sky

Explored the depths of outer space

Time travel with the naked eye

We destroy the earth

Sell her out for gold and oil

We erased the stars in heaven

Allowed our once dark sky to spoil

A synthetic amber glow of ignorance

Cancels out my beloved stars

I once saw constellations infinite

Now my space bares human scars

I can't see the light that hides in the dark

I am blinded by light that destroys the night

Turn the night in to day I can't see heaven this way

I want my children to see what I saw

What I saw

What I now can't see
