lyrics

Text for The Stars are the Mountain Peaks
by Drew Kravin

Adapted from Henry David Thoreau
The stars are the mountain peaks of celestial countries.
The universe is wider than our views of it.
Time hides no treasures.
Live in the present.
Fools stand on their island…and look toward another land.
There is no other land; there is no other life but this.
The question is not what you look at, but what you see.
Launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
The stars are the mountain peaks of celestial countries.
The universe is wider than our views of it.
