lyrics

(The star)

The joy that I feel as your rays shine through my window
How I long for you more as I draw ever closer
O star in the sky my rocketship will bring me nigh
And I shall see you in your fullness
You’re my answer I can feel it through and through
O star, I will see you soon
Quickly my rocketship will bring me to you
But a small voice says to just go back home
My view obstructed
I can’t see you
My ship it warns emergency, I’ll put on my pressure suit
I may need to evacuate soon
The asteroids are breaking through
My ship may be exploding soon
I’ll put on my pressure suit
I may need to evacuate soon
O star, I will see you soon
Slowly but surely I will float to you
But I wish that I could just go back home
(“You can’t give up now”) … no
My spaceship is breaking, now I must be escaping
I will jump in my suit and eventually I’ll make it to you
Star in the sky, I will not lie
I am afraid to die
I’ll jump in my suit and eventually I’ll make it to you
