On a planet
I once was born
A God in my own right
In my heart
And in my soul
I was all things in flight
I happened once
Upon a village
Things were unlike I knew
A beautiful place
I remember still
It’s there I first looked on you
Stars in the sky
A billion fold
Under passions eye they wink
A Goddess found
How remote the chance
Into oceans deep I sink
And who was
I Among so many
That you would share a look
But blind are we
In this so big
When fate has cast its hook
