Burning Star

(album: A Prayer For The Loud - 2019)

If no one gave you the tools to make a real life
And they delivered most of the parts
But you couldn't get it right
And if your mind is blind to the walls you made in the past
And if the boredom of trivial roads lead to a crash

Somewhere up above the clouds
Among a million prayers
Files a little hope of mine
If someone out there cares

Back on Earth, I see it here
It shines its endless light
Alone like us in empty space
The burning star, the burning star of life

And there are dreams on Earth you need three lives to fulfill
And there are lives you've lived till the end by standing still
And we've got too many lives at either end of a knife
And we've had plenty of lives cut short by what we carry inside

Somewhere up above the clouds
Among a million prayers
Files a little hope of mine
If someone out there cares

Back on Earth, I see it here
It shines its endless light
Alone like us in empty space
The burning star
The burning star, the burning star of life

Tell me something I don't know
Maybe I've lived too long
I've got a bad case of, "I told you so"
And it's hard to hold my tongue

Back on Earth, I see it here
It shines its endless light
Alone like us in empty space
The burning star, the burning star
The burning star, the burning star of life
