nothing standout like a star
no matter where you are
there's nothing so bright
there's no brighter light
that comes by day
that comes by night
no one can deny
that twinkle in the sky
wandering minds
wondering how high
would one have to climb
to reach the shine
shining on the world
let there be light
a star is born tonight
some where over the struggle
rising with the sun
falling with the angels
landing some where in trouble
in the skin of sin
the wind comes rushing in
everyone want to shine
everyone wants to rise
not one wants to die
ashes to ashes, dust to dawn
I wonder why there must be
blood for the lights to beam
a child is struck not by a star
in a hail of bullets in his sleep
dreaming of being a star
a mother cries in the night
tears falling like rain crystalizing
fore, another child is born
in the city to be sacrificed
