I've spent nights,
staring, waiting, watching
Hoping the sky will open up to me
Hoping to see something new
Something beautiful
And for as many nights as I have been out there, watching
I have never yet grown tired of the darkened sky
The stars
Show me the stars
Let me wonder
Why I'm still here
Where I should go
Show me the stars
They help me remember
My place on this earth
All from their glow
Everytime I look at the darkened sky
I remember a time I have lived
I see
Flour spilled on the wood floor
Sugar all over the counter
My mother she smiled those days
The cookies were set in the oven
And for Santa I would anxiously wait
Show me the stars
I'm a dreamer
Picturing all of the good times
Asking where they have gone
Show me the stars
In the distance
So I can can see my whole life
And knowing what my future will be
I see
My father he sits at the counter
My mother stays right next to him
Beside me stands my young sister
Game pieces flung on the counter
The sound of such laughter is near
And rock music plays in the distance
I miss days like this
Show me the stars
I wish to remember
Where it is my hope has come
The music I hear in the distance
Show me the stars
In the sky
Teach me all that you know
Please just help me to see
I see
The times that I visited grandpa
The gleam in his eyes showed he cared
And though it was rare that I saw him
It was so good to know he was there
But now I make cookies in silence
The old Rock music fails to still play
And as much as I love my dear grandpa
My prayers couldn't get him to stay
Show me the stars
Are they out there?
Tell me I'm not all alone
Yet all I can see is a blank sky
Show me the stars
Please be somewhere
I can't do this all on my own
The world has told me to grow up
But how to, I don't really know
Show me the stars
I need someone
Please don't just leave me to die
I know there are good people out there
But who am I?
Who am I?

A/N this is very personal to me, and I was debating on whether or not to show it to you all. Please give feedback. I hope you enjoy, and as always, have a wonderful day <3
