Without Answers

[Verse 1] I raised my eyes beyond the hills To ask the constellations why, Yet every star maintained its watch Without a single clear reply. [Chorus] Stars without answer, Fire without voice, Silent companions To every choice. [Verse 2] Their ancient light survives the years, Crossing distances untold, While mortal questions rise and fade Like sparks dissolving into gold. [Chorus] Stars without answer, Fire without voice, Silent companions To every choice. [Verse 3] I carried one small question home, Still folded carefully in my hand; The kettle cooled beside the sink, The clock kept time I could not command. [Bridge] Perhaps the dark is not a door That opens when we ask it right; Perhaps we learn to walk below The patient measure of that light. [Instrumental] [Verse 4] At dawn the ridgeline lost its blue, The fields returned to ordinary green; I found no answer in the sky, But felt the ground beneath me clean. [Final Chorus] Stars without answer, Fire without voice, Silent companions To every choice. Stars without answer, Still keeping their place, While we turn toward morning At our own pace. [Outro] I lower my eyes beyond the hills, And carry the quiet home.
