Crestfallen snow falling in the city Giving its life to try and be The stars they so desperately want to be Falling to the once again barren ground Confused why it can't give life Only take it They want to be like the stars We are children of star dust But the rapidly falling snow Doesn't understand it's true purpose Until the grounds rise to accept it It's only through this cycle of death That the stars can shine just a little bit brighter And so when the proud snow collapses in On its own weight (Becoming so much like a star) (Although it won't know this) The proud snow Can do its duty with a smile
