Ghost in the Sky

Before long ago and far away
Before a streak of light danced from your face
You didn't know what you'd become
And how you'd teach us all our place in the world

But at that moment when you saw your flame
Grew an ambitious soul with worlds to claim
How you could catch all our attention
And show us all how we could find our way

You were something special
I guarantee
You lit up my way on home
When I couldn't see it
You were something special
Even when nobody saw
They saw your ghost in the sky
That kept on shining on

When I stood there on that starry night
And on those shores I learned that you had died
Oh I promised I'd remember
All the echoes of your blazing light

You were something special
I guarantee
You lit up my way on home
When I couldn't see it
You were something special
Even when nobody saw
They saw your ghost in the sky
That kept on shining on

Oh you fought until your final breath
You were alone even in death
And in a vibrant violet array
Still not seen to this day
Oh may you shine your light for all my life
Oh may your shine for the life to come

You were something special
I guarantee
You lit up my way on home
When I couldn't see it
You were something special
Even when nobody saw
They saw your ghost in the sky
That kept on shining on
They saw your ghost in the sky
That kept on shining on
