1. We are, each one of us, a gift
   Given to the world by the world;
   Like so many jewels falling in the night
   That would glitter and shine in the light.
2. Dreams dreaming themselves;
   Thoughts thinking themselves,
   Lost in the darkness and shadows of sight.
   Yearning imparts weight, and we fall from the Heavens.
3. Striking the Earth, we settle into a place
   And into a shape. The paths are worn where we walk;
   Lines are drawn around the ways we talk;
   Walls are built defending our lines of thought.
4. Look up to the stars! Those distant jewels shining and crying:
   They know what we really are, watching us wish away our lives.
   Blind beauties and deaf musicians!
   Let us wander not in search of something more.
