I pulled the car off to the side and walked along a starry hill in Idaho
A golden moon was rolling by, the ridge was like a window sill and I don't know
If I was on the outside looking in
Like maybe all the borders of the world were getting thin
And I could see the sky the way it's gonna be again
Every star is a burning flame
Every star is a burning flame
Well yesterday I trimmed the vines and spread the leaves along the ground in Tennessee
And I tried to hold it in my mind that all the light that's coming down takes ages to get to me
And I was on the inside looking out
I was lifted by a solar wind up over the clouds
And I could hear the hosts of heaven singing out loud
Every star is a burning flame
Every star is a burning flame
I remember Mr. Green and I were walking down a busy street in Louisville
The sign said Merton looked around and all the people pa**ing by were shining like the sun and beautiful
And the wonder of it caught him by surprise
Oh Lord, I want to see the world with those eyes
I want to look into the night and see a million suns rise
Rise
All the heat comes running at the speed of light
From the reaches of space to these faces tonight
And every heart is a burning flame
Every heart is a burning flame
