Dona Nobis Pacem

Only Starlight

How beautiful is this day,

when everything familiar has changed

A crash is only thunder,

a spray only rain

No need to take shelter,

there's no threat of pain

How beautiful is this evening,

when time is not on my mind

The cage has blown open,

the wires unwind

No need to take shelter,

no reason to cry

Chorus
Holding on to the moment,

when I can finally breathe

Fighting for this daydream,

when I wake up in peace

How beautiful is this night,

when nothing else pierces the sky

There's only starlight

and the moon

No need to take shelter,

there's nothing to fight

How perfect is this night,

when the only sound alive

The whisper of a lover,

a baby's sigh

No need to take shelter,

no reason to hide

Chorus
Holding on to the moment,

when I can finally breathe

Fighting for this daydream,

when I wake up in peace

How precious is this morning,

when the iron wall has gone

I'm finally breathing,

a quiet unknown

No need to take shelter,

I'm finally home

I'm finally home,

the nightmare is over

I'm finally home
