Morning Star


Thousands of books do these rooms inhabit

They bustle with activity all day

The nature of the people is a little bit nomadic

Because they are those who never stay;


They are on a quest for knowledge

Their voices are not caged

They know how to use that gift

To speak for those who are forever chained;


They dream of stars and of shiny cars

Yet they know that they can never reach the morning star

But when it comes down to this

They are ready to be turned into ashes;


They keep their feet to the ground

The theory is extremely profound

They are wrapped in their own misery

Yet they find a way to live happily;


Even if the stars don't align

They would never forget that time

Which they spent watching the shiny cars

All the while thinking of reaching the morning star.
