Insignificant flash
Across the midnight sky
Nobody sees you
In the diverse sea of light
Welcome to your life
Live or die, nothing changes
Ever
Try to burn brightest
And see how that works
For only one can be the best
And second gets nothing
Try to change the sky
The entire idea of a star
But can that ever change
Since it hasn’t been done?
Millions of stars
Thousands of lights
Why should your flash
Mean much at all?

Insignificant flash
Across the midnight sky
Nobody sees you
In the diverse sea of light
Welcome to your life
Live or die, nothing changes
Ever
Try to burn brightest
And see how that works
For only one can be the best
And second gets nothing
Try to change the sky
The entire idea of a star
But can that ever change
Since it hasn’t been done?
Millions of stars
Thousands of lights
Why should your flash
Mean much at all?
