Burning Star

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 has led to a crash Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star of light And there are dreams on Earth, you need three lives to fulfill And there are lives you live 'til the end by standing still And we've got too many lives at either end of the night And we've got plenty of lives cut short by what we carry inside Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star A burning star of light And tell me something I don't know, and 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 But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star A burning star, a burning star of light
