Burning Star

No one gave you the tools to make a real life
 And they delivered most of the parts, but you couldn't get it right
 And if your mind is blind to the walls you made in the past
 And if the boredom of trivial roads has led to a crash
 Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers
 Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares
 But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
 And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star of light
 And there are dreams on Earth, you need three lives to fulfill
 And there are lives you live 'til the end by standing still
 And we've got too many lives at either end of the night
 And we've got plenty of lives cut short by what we carry inside
 Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers
 Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares
 But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
 And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star
 A burning star of light
 And tell me something I don't know, and maybe I've lived too long
 I've got a bad case of "I told you so" and it's hard to hold my tongue
 But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
 And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star
 A burning star, a burning star of light
