have you ever seen the city at night
when all the streetlights are lit
inside a passing car on the freeway

but tonight things are different
the lights spring up and out
from the garden of lamps

they're big and bright and powerful
the cars block the sound
it's the silence that is left

and the city beckons me
in it's state of celebration
call them colors of comfort

have you ever seen fireworks
across a lake of loneliness
they soar so high they become stars

all while stopping in the night
hiding in the shelter of a tree
wrapped in evening's winds
