Analysis of Stars Above

Hawi 2010 (Addis Ababa)



Oh, countless stars above, to each of you I'd give my love;
To swim inside your endless sea sounds to me like destiny;
Soundless space filled with song, here she comes. it won't be long;
Her shining rays push you back, none can stop her bright attack;
None but me, I'll stay right here, oh starry night, when you reappear;
