dust down the stars

See the stars in the sky
That one, beautifully brilliant light shining
That bright one, that's the one I want
Shining fervently with all the strength of a tiny star
Just shining through the clouds for me to see

But it's so far away
Reach through the clouds and I can't get through to it
It hides from me
Floating, moving, gliding in and out of the sky
I cannot reach that star

This hope, that star. This dream, that star.
This life, that star. My freedom, that star.
But stars... stars belong to the galaxy
No matter how you try
As long as the star has yet to fade and burn away
It will never drop to earth

Similarly, my hope, this life
Will not appear unless I be patient
Be very patient... and wait
And one day soon, my star will drop to earth
And my hope, my dream, my life, will be realised

Until then, patience,
Tolerance, silence, escape,
Until my star drops to earth
And my hopes, dreams, and my life realised
And you, together with my hopes, dreams and life fulfilled.

Because...


There is such a thing as dusting down the stars.
