a million stars in the night sky
i know you won’t tell me why
but something’s making you cry
a million stars live in your soul
you, my darling, shine like gold
yet your smile is less than whole
a million stars twinkling up there
maybe you’re just unaware
or simply too tired to care
this feeling never seems to fade
time and space in retrograde
come join, it’s just masquerade
it hovers like a ghastly shroud
the darkness: it lurks and prowls
waiting for my head to bow
most days the world is monochrome
two-dimensional, utterly alone
why does nowhere feel like home?
the light skates across your skin
it shines; a spark, a flame, glowing
all you have to do is let it in
a million stars in this galaxy
yet some still shine for me
is there hope – could i be free?
yet some still shine for me
is there hope – could i be free?
a million stars waiting for you
someday you’ll be able to
finally enjoy this view.
