when man first glanced into the velvet night  
and wondered who lit campfires in the sky  
when he assigned, according to their might  
the duties of the gods to those up high  
when he devised the heavens as a clock  
the spheres rotating perfectly, just so  
when he continued working to unlock  
the mysteries that made the planets go  
when he at first determined that the sun  
was hardly at the center of it all  
when he had learned that he will be the one  
that truly understands both flight and fall  
he's always, always hungered for the stars  
and will not rest until he makes them ours
