A world alive surrounds us now
while the blackness of it stays up
we look up to the stars up above
to see the lives of our past
the stars are what watched us
when we were stumbling along
barely learning to walk as kids
the stars keep us company
on the coldest of nights,
when the harsh reality closes in
they hold us close to them
making us feel like one of them
but the stars are further away
even though they may live
they sent me here you see
to keep you company now
for the stars are wonderful
that they protect our own.
so my star shining dim
take my hand and feel my light
so that later on this night
we may both be shining
as stars are meant to be
