There is peace in this valley
All the ghosts are finally asleep
The river below it is flowing
To a horizon I will never reach.
One day I’ll cross that river
Never to return
Each step is a beginning
Of a circle that has no end.
The seasons they are changing
Winter’s in the air.
Leaves are falling with a whisper
As they return to the earth.
The morning dew it sparkles
On these thin webs of life
Where time has no meaning
To the soul and the heart.
The sky it’s on fire
The sun paints it so well
There is a passion in the colors
At the close of every day.
Soon I will be leaving
This beauty behind me
I will cross that river
To dance, dance with the stars.
Soon I will be leaving
This beauty behind me
I will cross that river
And I will dance, …I’ll dance with those stars
