What if once a night
I looked up to the stars
What if once a night
I looked up to the sky
And remembered
Remembered
That I’m on a planet
Traveling through space
Maybe if I looked up long enough
I’d see what really matters
And start over
I’d start over with an attitude
Of thankfulness and gratitude
For every breath I get to take
And what if once a night
I looked up to the stars
I’d see how small we really are
If only I had the eyes
The eyes to see
Just how magical
Falling snow in moonlight can be
If only I was willing
If only I was willing
To drop everything and just hang out
Out here with you for a while
Maybe the snows’ gently being laid down
Just to point to the place
It called home
The place it called home
Where it once knew a peace
I have never known
And what if once a night
I looked up to the stars
I’d see how small we really are
If only I had the eyes
The eyes to see
What if I could see behind
This world’s perfectly constructed disguise
A mystery hidden from me
Crying out to be recognized
If you’d just hold my eyes open wide
I’m sure I’d count
At least a thousand
I’d count a thousand reasons why
Gratitude is what I should be
Living my life by
So what if once a night
I looked up to the stars
I’d see how small we really are
And that would change everything
If only I had the eyes
The eyes to see
What if once a night
I looked up to the sky
And remembered
