Or star-spun constellations from a winter's night,
My thoughts are scattered, like dust to the wind,
Looking for purchase, or maybe a friend.
Wandering through hills covered with splendor
I think not of the beauty, but only of labor.
This heart would cry, if it had only a voice,
With years left behind me, there's no room for rejoice.
Hope becomes tangible, something to hold;
You wait, and wait, until finally you're told
It's all for nothing, only a worthless trinket;
So falling to the ground, I resign and submit.
I'd cry real tears, if I knew what they're for;
Instead I have no idea why my heart is so sore.
Is it all the beauty creating nothing but pain,
Or the sadness that lingers after disdain?

Like morning dew glistening in the light,
Or star-spun constellations from a winter's night,
My thoughts are scattered, like dust to the wind,
Looking for purchase, or maybe a friend.
Wandering through hills covered with splendor
I think not of the beauty, but only of labor.
This heart would cry, if it had only a voice,
With years left behind me, there's no room for rejoice.
Hope becomes tangible, something to hold;
You wait, and wait, until finally you're told
It's all for nothing, only a worthless trinket;
So falling to the ground, I resign and submit.
I'd cry real tears, if I knew what they're for;
Instead I have no idea why my heart is so sore.
Is it all the beauty creating nothing but pain,
Or the sadness that lingers after disdain?
