lyrics

Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle Little Star,
How I wonder where you are.
It’s been a while since I saw you last,
Out on the corner, in the cold with your bags.
Thumbing your way to the city of lights,
The world on your shoulders, tears in your eyes.
Daddy never really loved you, and mother only pushed you far.
But remember Little Star, ‘you have to burn to light up our dark’.

And all the while they were cutting her down,
She only carried them aloft.
And all the doors they closed on her,
She only opened up their world.

She could light up the night sky,
With that twinkle in her eyes.

Twinkle, twinkle Little Star,
They warned you ‘never be who you are!’
They said you’ll never be good enough,
That you’ll only bring them shame,
Funny, how the chips now fall,
You will be the one to write their name.
But now there’s a hole in the sky,
Where you once hung high.

And all the while they were cutting her down,
She only carried them aloft.
And all the doors they closed on her,
She only opened up their world.

She could light up the night sky,
I’ll never forget that look in her eyes.
We were just children, hiding from the truth.
But she knew then, she won’t have no time for youth.

So burn away my Little Star, burn away, burn away.
I often wonder just where you are.
Up above my world so high,
You will always be a diamond in my eyes.
