When I was a child
You know how children are
I wanted to be like the morning star
Morning is so innocent
Trusting and fair
With motherlove and angels
Reflected on your hair
Oh morning star, how warm you are
Let me be like you
As I grew up the morning star
Faded into space
Then I saw the evening star
Standing in its place
I tried to turn away
Terrified to find
Fatherlove and demons
Entangled in my mind
But despite myself
I saw this other me
Oh evening star, how cold you are
It's you I've come to be
But you see that once
I thought them different
As the moon and the sun
But now, but now I know
The morning star and the evening star
Are one
Mortal, immortal
Icicle and flame
Feminine and masculine
And I, I am the same
So I hereby take myself
My soul doth take my heart
To honor, love and cherish
'Til death do us part
I will, I will accept myself
With hope and fear and wonder
And what I have joined together
Let no one put asunder
Let no one put asunder
