A Song for Star

One, two, three, four

After all this time I thought
That I would find a way
But I still only ponder
When I look to the stars
And I ask them for direction
But they don't
Give so much attention from their gaze

Their time's too full looking kind
Upon my jealous eye
And they shine
Within worlds where my mind cannot fly
I wonder if they do know how to die

Upon this moonless rock I fall
Back to Earth again
Where the Martians come to greet me
From my stay up in the clouds
With the air so very foul, yet my head
Convinced me there I could be safe and sound

But no comfort came from the words
That fed no satisfaction
To the truth within my heart
And whispered promises of none that comes to pass
I do not know how long this illusion lasts

After all this time I know
Now where I'm meant to be
And why the stars look pretty
'cause if I strive to be
Something that I'll never see
Then I'll lie
Within a bed so fraught with misery

And now I sit beneath those stars
And I thank them for their time
But it's I who must see
There are stars within myself that do shine true
That need no intervention to shine too

(Three weeks!)
(That took me three weeks!)
(Childish laughter)
