On most nights the sky is my sanctuary
I feel safe and still
Laying under the stars
Meteor showers
Leave me refreshed; inspired
Engulfed in the beauty of our universe
Not tonight
I feel intimidated
By the empty spaces
Between the stars
It reminds me
Of the empty spaces
In my heart
I look to the sky
To find peace of mind
My celestial sanctuary
Not tonight
All I see is chaos
As streaks of light
Chase each other through the sky
My mind is crumbling
Bit by bit
With each falling star

On most nights the sky is my sanctuary
I feel safe and still
Laying under the stars
Meteor showers
Leave me refreshed; inspired
Engulfed in the beauty of our universe
Not tonight
I feel intimidated
By the empty spaces
Between the stars
It reminds me
Of the empty spaces
In my heart
I look to the sky
To find peace of mind
My celestial sanctuary
Not tonight
All I see is chaos
As streaks of light
Chase each other through the sky
My mind is crumbling
Bit by bit
With each falling star
