Ben-Real - My Star of Hope Has Turned to Gold Lyrics

I think the saddest day
That someone ever told
When someone tells a mother
That her blue star had turned to gold

Her head goes up so proudly
While her heart within her dies
She may be choked with sorrow
But she never cries

She has waited for days on end
For the war to pass
When she could see her son again
And hold him close at last

Now the news has come
In words so bleak and cold
Which tells her what she fears
Her blue star has turned to gold

As I look from out my window
And the sky so far
A tiny ship at anchor
There's shown a golden star

Tis a lamp set in his window
A light unto my feet
Both he and I are waiting
Until we two shall meet

My star of hope so precious
I call this golden star
It shineth in my sorrow
My loved one lost in war

Now the news has come
In words so bleak and cold
Which tells her what she fears
Her blue star has turned to gold

As I look from out my window
And the sky so far
A tiny ship at anchor
There's shown a golden star

Tis a lamp set in his window
A light unto my feet
Both he and I are waiting
Until we two shall meet

My star of hope so precious
I call this golden star
It shineth in my sorrow
My loved one lost in war
