Night is a whole new world
The sky is a black sea
Calm, and the stars are islands
Little lights shine, guiding us through
This New World

The winds are flying fish
They sing like a church choir
And swoop like the dark bird
And carry you away
To dreamland

The moon is a white disk
Thrown up by Artemis herself
Polished, bright, ancient
It shines above us
A new dream in this different world
