Across the world tonight,
there are ships of light
Shining down on everyone
From the darkest shores to
marble corridors

A new age has begun
I've got no explanation how
those ships came to be there
illuminating, the nations' everywhere
Across the world tonight,
there's a wondrous sight
And we gaze with childlike eyes

We can only guess we hold our breath
where the future lies
Something beautiful's coming
somehow I know there
beyond the dawn
We've been left in
the darkness too long
And tomorrow when we rise
We'll see with other eyes
And know at last that we belong
We'll reach out to the skies
And find the answers there
That we've been searching for so long
Across the world tonight,
Across the world tonight,
around the firelight
The stories have begun

How it came to be,
this night of mystery
Of wonders yet to come
I've got no explanation how
those ships came to be there
illuminating the nations
everywhere

Something beautiful's coming
somehow I know there
beyond the down
We've been left in the
darkness for too long.
