There is a place
amongst the stars somewhere

Or in a drop of moisture
dangled from a tiny hair

A constellation so miniscule
we’re not aware it’s there

It’s way out or way in or both
where Love reigns and fills the air

The very breath of life inspires
everyone who is there

And it’s all different
and so much the same

For, in my heart, I know it’s One everywhere

There is a moment, a chip in time
When leaving home is the lesser crime
When your eyes are blind with tears, but your heart can see
Another life, another galaxy

–Paul Simon
