Starbright
Starlight burn bright Countless eons of time Have you burned that way for a billion years Glittering ever brightly And I see earthrise, our eyes How much longer to go Little sphere of dirt that we live upon Trembling in its last throes And I say no man, all can Carry part of the load Do you have to get paid for survival In your old age Think right what you gonna do Look at your child will he follow you Take another look 'cause your baby's liable to die Politicians have their say, you once mattered But you're in the way, why do we let these People run our lives, For the country isn't run by the statesmen now But by the gentry who see And I see starbright, cold light Shining through the night From Letras Mania
