Star child, something in your eyes that shine
Long ago, once as mine, crystalline
But life took it away (gone away)
So many footsteps
So many teardrops
Oh, the confusion
Asking when it stops
Just a soft, slow place
Home that resonates
Time heals but time kills
Our story creates
Star child, something in your eyes that shine
Long ago, once as mine, crystalline
But life took it away (gone away)
Wanting some beauty
Tethered with anchor
And 'neath all that weight
Also tows anger
Like wearing thistles
It's a bloody mess
Dragging destruction
Clouded to digress
Star child, something in your eyes that shine
Long ago, once as mine, crystalline
But life took it away (gone away)
It's a depressing world, someone once said
I think it was me
When the day fell to a night that was dead
A million sorrows played Hell with my head
Star child, something in your eyes that shine
Long ago, once as mine, crystalline
But life took it away (gone away)
We don't always have a choice
We don't always have a voice
But our space makes a difference anyway
