SEVEN STARS
MURRAY EDMOND

m a t a r i k i   s o n g


here come seven sisters across the sky
here come seven stars from far and high
one sister brings a flower of light
one sister brings a child of night
one sister sings a song of wind
one sister's left her gift behind
one sister's eyes are shining sweet
one sister steps on silent feet
the seventh one is the one most young
and so this song has just begun
time to sing it one more time
time to sing it one more time
