Way up high, where the air is cold and thin
Leaving the shore noise
Letting the quiet sink in. Mauna Kea stands silent
Watching from above
Bathed in the wisdom of a timeless, endless love
Oh, the Mauna Kea Starlight
A million miles away
Each little glimmer chasing the dark away
A silent, silver ocean where the sky meets the soul
Making the universe finally feel whole. (
Soft humming or layered harmony vocals begin)
No clouds to hide the map that guides the seas
Just ancient patterns whispered on the breeze
We are small specks of light
Standing on a peak
Hearing the secrets that the ages quietly speak
If you close your eyes, you can feel the deep tide
The vast, patient rhythm where the spirits reside
This moment of clarity, cold and so bright
Lost in the wonder of the pure, cosmic light
Oh, the Mauna Kea Starlight, a million miles away
Each little glimmer chasing the dark away. A silent
Silver ocean where the sky meets the soul
Making the universe finally feel whole
