Starry night
Full of light
Give me hope
Give me chance
I beg for support
And pray for salvation
In the dark white of the moon
And the single multitude of stars
A miracle night
Flashing bright
With pain
And possibility
A light in a world
That isn’t so bright
A smile on a day
That is filled with pain
A helping hand
That catches the fallen
An honest word
In a world that is broken
When you’re down
And thinking only of the downtrodden
When you cannot go on
And holding on to what’s almost forgotten
When you feel lonely
And it just doesn’t get better
When you lose faith
And it feels like hope’s been gone forever
Look out for the small things
The things most overlook
Because it’s there you find hope
And the strength even despair never took
A light in a world
That isn’t so bright,
A smile on a day
When all you do is cry,
A hug without agenda
Fighting off the lingering dark,
A love so slight
It shackles and binds.
I don’t want you
To fear the morning
I don’t want you
To dread the night
I want to spend
Every day with you
And that includes
Us coming down from our highs
I want to crash and burn
With you at my side
I want to fall and fail
With you as my guiding light
There’s no need for hesitation
We’ve known our place all along
You belong with me
And I belong with you
Through all the highs and lows
Through every rise and every fall
You’re proud of what you’ve done
The long way that you’ve come
Repaid by fame, success, and power
Hard work and defences you will not lower
A light in a world that isn’t so bright
Covering up the truth to be kind
What you show to the world
Is only a part of who you are
When you look in the mirror
You see what they prefer
When you stare at your reflection
You fix the image for inspection
Duty and strength
You would go to any length to show
But I can see in your eyes
That it’s really what you despise
You’re proud of your deception
Of hiding behind the reflection
That shimmers in the others’ gaze
And obscures who you are in a gaudy, strangled haze
There is power where you walk
And misdirection in the way you talk
There is light wherever you go
Because that is what you want to sow
In a world that needs a light
You try your best
To strengthen the others
And forget your own rest.
