The Star
I once knew a star
That lit up my life
It lit up my days
Along with the night
It's brilliance so bright
It blocked out the sun
Outshined every star
That the universe spun
This star was so special
That i followed it's light
I followed it's path
And trusted my sight
The rays from the star
Filled my dark life with joy
Something i haven't felt
Even as a young boy
But, this star, it betryayed me
And right from the start
Used it's white hot bright rays
To burn a hole through my heart
It blinded my eyes
Got me lost on my way
Turned my daylight to dark
Only nighttime, no day
This star nearly killed me
From blindness of sight
I kept falling and hurting
I could only see night
'Till finally i stood
Turned my back to the star
Now my sight's comming back
I can see very far
The star went away
Left me cold in the night
Though fearful and lonely
Other stars shined for light
I'll miss the bright light
But i remember it's cost
And the lesson it taught me
Will never be lost.
