LYRICS: 
**************************************************** 
 
Luminous we shine 
Like the stars on the evening sky 
Through the universe 
And centuries 
They are calling 
Hear them calling 
Luminous moonshine 
Is guiding my travel through life 
Through the winds of time 
I hear angels calling 
Hear them calling 
 
No tree has branches so foolish 
As to fight among themselves 
We share the same biology 
We are one 
We are luminous 
 
Luminous when we die 
We return to the great ocean 
Of the living energy 
It is calling 
Hear it calling 
Luminous my life 
A breath in the cosmic play 
Without reason or rhyme 
It is calling Hear it calling 
 
No tree has branches so foolish 
As to fight among themselves 
We share the same biology 
We are one 
We are luminous
