STARGAZING

I'm gazing up, I'm gazing high.

Let me watch the stars tonight.

It mightn't give me better grades,

or wash my clothes or clean the plates,

or make me famous, make me rich,

or change the direction of my fate.

And it won't just fix the politics,

or save the falling economy,

or cease these tiring, endless wars

and it won't eradicate poverty.

But even if there's nothing right,

let me watch the stars tonight.

Hitchhiking through the galaxy,

a blazing comet passes by,

and waves to billion specks of light,

those sparkling diamonds in the sky.

Tomorrow I may change the world,

or I might even exercise.

Tonight I'm gazing up and high,

I'm looking at the stars tonight.
