These are the first stars tonight,
and for the rest of my life.
These are the first words I'll say
into the dark of today.
You are my first love, at last;
now that time is slipping so fast.
Chorus:
Wait for might
after my strength has fallen.
Wait for hope to rise.
Wait for life
to rush in the air I'm breathing.
If you help me through, I'll try.
These are the first stars in sight.
Maybe my last glimpse of light.
Repeat chorus
...these are the first stars.
