I had hoped the stars would be brighter From this height Perhaps I should have turned left And not stayed right I wasn't meant for this The mere mention of eternal bliss Sent me clinging to the dirt Prayer is just a whisper When you fail to see your worth I thought that I could walk on the waves of heaven Sought to speak with the Creator That I might make sense of the message I would come to understand much later It was a holy dream Through unholy means.

The Stars
I had hoped the stars would be brighter From this height Perhaps I should have turned left And not stayed right I wasn't meant for this The mere mention of eternal bliss Sent me clinging to the dirt Prayer is just a whisper When you fail to see your worth I thought that I could walk on the waves of heaven Sought to speak with the Creator That I might make sense of the message I would come to understand much later It was a holy dream Through unholy means.
