I wanted to be a star I wanted to hang above the heavens And shine brightly I wanted to float in that black timeless space And listen to stories told by other stars I wanted to gaze down on people As they gaze up on me And be above their earthly problems (My earthly problems) I wanted to light the way IN the night sky Guiding a lonely traveller Helping him find his way (Helping myself to find my way Because I have no light in my night sky) I wanted to stand out in darkness People pointing and saying "wow" I wanted to be a star... I wanted to watch other stars fall gracefully around me And not feel sorry I wanted to be placed above God and his kingdom But have no power to control I wanted to feel of some importance (Important to myself) Dying for a purpose is better than just living (Living 'cause there's nothing better to do) I wanted... To not hear the yelling The exhausted sighs, tired fighting To not see the mean looks Rolling eyes, angry faces To not feel the depression The hoplessness, need to cry I wanted to be a star Be above it allBirth sign: Libra
