I saw, I saw the stars tonight
Mama, I saw the stars tonight
Mama, I saw the stars tonight
Orion, the plow, are burning bright
Cannot recall of where I drove
An empty lane, the lonely road
Home
I saw, I saw my star tonight
Mama, the stars are burning bright
And it came clear, that the light years
Are here at last
At left, at right.
The death, the life
As all unseen
Came into sight
The pull, the scales
The dark, the light
Mama, Papa, voila! The night!
The night!
So now to the one with the never ending invisible scars,
Look up. Look up! The stars!
Look up and see the stars tonight!
Look up. Look up! The stars tonight!
Look up and see the stars tonight!
Look up. Look up! The stars!
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight.
Mama, I saw the stars tonight
Mama, I saw the stars tonight
Orion, the plow, are burning bright
Cannot recall of where I drove
An empty lane, the lonely road
Home
I saw, I saw my star tonight
Mama, the stars are burning bright
And it came clear, that the light years
Are here at last
At left, at right.
The death, the life
As all unseen
Came into sight
The pull, the scales
The dark, the light
Mama, Papa, voila! The night!
The night!
So now to the one with the never ending invisible scars,
Look up. Look up! The stars!
Look up and see the stars tonight!
Look up. Look up! The stars tonight!
Look up and see the stars tonight!
Look up. Look up! The stars!
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight.

I agree that the meaning of this song is straightforward. But it is just so incredibly beautiful.
I think sometimes artists put way too much effort in writing verse after verse of rhyming, meaningful, thought-provoking lyrics and fail when really they will never write a song as beautiful, meaningful and thoughtful as this one.
I love Patrick so much, it is worrying.
