lyrics

I'm lying with my head in the grass, I'm thinking real fast.
About the stars in the sky, I'm wondering why.

They twinkle just so, they shine and they glow,
And even when you don't see them there.
They're shining on somewhere.

I'm lying with my head in my pillowcase,
So hard to not let the world take what it takes,
So much soul exchanged just for the sake,
But try to let it bend before it breaks.

Such greed and poverty, we live in sick extremes,
This place is killing me, where is this light I seek?
In a world of such pain and disrepair,
We need a light to shine on somewhere.
To shine on somewhere.

To shine on the children who will never hear a sweet lullaby or a peaceful night.
To the ones who believe that life is do or die, you can hear them cry.

I'm lying with my head in the grass, I'm thinking fast, so fast.
About all the stars up in the sky, I wanna know why.

They twinkle just so, they shine and they glow,
When you don't see them there,
They're shining on somewhere.
