New words - John Owen-Jones

Written by：Maury Yeston

Look up there

High above us

In a sky of blackest silk

See how round

Like a cookie

See how white

As wide as milk

Call it

The moon my son

Say moon

Sounds like your spoon my son

Can you say it

New word today

Say moon

Near the moon

Brightly turning

See the shining sparks of light

Each one new

Each one burning

Through the darkness of the night

We call them stars my son

Say stars

That one is mars my son

Can you say it

New word today

Say stars

As they blink all around us

Playing starry eyed games

Who would think it astounds us

Simply naming their names

Turn your eyes

From the skies now

Turn around and look at me

There's a light

In my eyes now

And a world for what you see

We call it love my son

Say love

So hard to say my son

It gets harder

New words today

We'll learn to say

Learn moon

Learn stars

Learn

Love
