At midnight, if you have eyes to see,

There’s beauty and there’s majesty.

Sweet brown babies tucked in tight,

Shooting stars bursting through the night.

Strong, sturdy trees reaching for the sky,

Dancing and swaying to the moon’s lullaby.

Quiet waters. Silent nights.

Angels soaring toward the light.

At midnight, if you have eyes to see,

There’s beauty and there’s majesty.
