Text
When the sun goes down and the clouds all frown, night has begun for the sunset. See it with your eyes, earth re-energize by the sun's rays everyday. Take a look out there, planets every where.	a
When the sun goes down and the clouds all frown, night has begun for the sunset. Shadows on the ground never make a sound, fading away in the sunset. Night has now become day for everyone.	b
I can see it all from this great height. I can feel the sun slipping out of sight. And the world still goes on through the night.	c
