Galileo - In the Night Lyrics

2024 world premiere
Galileo the Musical - In the Night Lyrics


GALILEO:
It's a cloudless sky
And with just my eyes
With a sense of wonder
Unveil nature's disguise
All these sleeping neighbours
Are all dreaming about things on Earth...

Oh, my body's down here
Yet my mind has no fear
To go soar the heavens
And forever steer
All around the planets
And further on into space...

In the night, In the night
It's a beautiful sight
How I dread
The bright curtain
Of sunlight

In the night, In the night
I'll continue my fight
To believe
To receive
The truth

But truth is a word
Where its meaning is blurred
When my facts are unfurled
For to me it's absurd
That celestial spheres
Of glass exist in the sky...

Yet do I align
With the finest minds
Like - Plato, and Aristotle
Classic, divine
How dare I challenge
These icons of our past...

In the night, In the night
It's a beautiful sight
How I dread
The bright curtain
Of sunlight

In the night, In the night
I'll continue my fight
To believe
To receive
The truth

But what if -
This lonely trail is false
The heavens' dancing
With me one unholy waltz

My life, my family's
I'm putting all at risk
The inquisition's methods of death -
Are never brisk...

In the night, In the night
All the demons of doubt
Are about and
They shout
At my senses

In the night, In the night
'Neath this curtain of stars
I'm so small
And not certain
At all...
