Starlight

 

I DREAMED A DREAM LAST NIGHT

THAT PAIN WAS HEALED BY STARS

SO I CLIMBED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE

AND GATHERED FOUR IN JARS

I SHOWED YOU WHAT ID GATHERED

MY PRIZES GLEAMED SO BRIGHT

WE TRAVELED OFF TOGETHER

SO WE COULD SHARE THE LIGHT

A SON WHO DIED TOO EARLY

WAS A MOTHERS PAIN TO BEAR

WE KNEW THAT WE COULD HELP HER

SO WE LEFT OUR FIRST STAR THERE

A WOMAN WORN AND BROKEN

ABUSED BY ONE SHE LOVED

THAT IS WHERE WE LEFT

OUR SECOND STAR FROM UP ABOVE

A CHILD WITH HER SPIRIT

BROKEN BY ANOTHERS WORDS

TO SHOW HER SHE WAS VALUABLE

TO HER WE GAVE OUR THIRD

OUR FOURTH AND FINAL TREASURE

GLEAMED MUCH BRIGHTER THAN THE REST

TO FIND THE PLACE TO SHARE IT

WAS THE LAST STEP ON OUR QUEST

WE CAME UPON A GRASSY FIELD

WHITE CROSSES IN THE GROUND

THE STAR SHONE EVEN BRIGHTER

AND WE KNEW ITS HOME WAS FOUND

WE OPENED UP THE JAR

AND LIFTED UP THE LIGHT

IT SHOT INTO THE AIR

AND MADE THE WHOLE PLACE BRIGHT

ERASING ALL THE PAIN

THE HURT AND ANGER THAT IT FOUND

BY THE DEATHS OF ALL THE BROTHERS

WHO LAID IN THAT HALLOWED GROUND.
