Lyrics

I’m lying with my head in the grass, I’m thinking real fast
About the stars in the sky, I’m wondering why
They twinkle just so, they shine and they glow
And even when you don’t see them there
They’re shining on somewhere
I’m lying with my head in my pillowcase
So hard to not let the world take what it takes
So much soul exchanged just for the sake
But try to let it bend before it breaks
Such greed and poverty, we live in sick extremes
This place is killing me, where is this light I seek?
In a world of such pain and disrepair
We need a light to shine on somewhere
To shine on somewhere
To shine on the children who will never hear a sweet lullaby or a peaceful night
To the ones who believe that life is do or die, you can hear them cry
I’m lying with my head in the grass, I’m thinking fast, so fast
About all the stars up in the sky, I wanna know why
They twinkle just so, they shine and they glow
When you don’t see them there
They’re shining on somewhere
