[Verse 1] They are not stars burning in the sky at night No, no, they're candles in astro-flight They are not men walking on the streets below What are they really nobody knows [Chorus] They are not stars, we are not human I don't know the reason why A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye
And so, a rose is not a rose By that or any other name Things remain unexplained [Verse 2] I am a tree, dancing on the ocean floor The air is water on desert shores There is a face painted on the salty moon The tree singing this silent tune [Chorus][3x]
