We each have our own separate tale Not knowing what our path would entail We’re scatters of stars on a celestial night A laughing darkness with beads of light
We’re all a portion of the sky A cycle to be born then to die No wonder we look up above and yearn For part of us wishes to return
Each star has its own beginning Cascade of matter, bright and spinning And then a story that lasts until its end And through life they meander and wend
So all of us have a separate page That spreads as we grow and we age And we sparkle in our lifetime quarries For we’re all made of stardust and stories
