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 and 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 for too long
And tomorrow when we rise
We’ll see with our own 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,
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 dawn
We’ve been left in the darkness for too long
