PELL here

This time of year, because the sun sets so early in North America, I spend a lot of time stargazing, and contemplating the deeper meaning of the universe.

I wrote this thinking of attending Christmas Mass, and how my favorite part was always lighting the candle and then wandering out of the church into the night.

A very special thanks to airtone for the beautiful inspiration.

I don’t have monitors or even good headphones so it is very hard to hear levels and balance — please your feedback in this regard would be appreciated so I can adjust. I’d love for you to be my ears!

Sending you all love, hope and peace this special season.

Under the Stars
by Madam Snowflake

Snow is falling out in the churchyard
While candles in rows flicker in the dark
I cross myself with hope in my heart then

I look to the sky for answers
I look to the sky for answers
I look to the sky for answers
And wait in silence
Under the stars

I wander outdoors escaping the congregation
And beg Him for peace in our divided nation
Cold air and headstones heighten my soul’s deep contemplation as

I look to the sky for answers
I look to the sky for answers
I look to the sky for answers
And wait in silence
Under the stars

Under the stars
Under the stars
A night full of stars

If God is change
For that I pray
That on this Christmas Day
We’ll find a new way
We’ll find a new way

I look to the sky
For answers
For answers
For answers
Under the stars
