When you were young
And scared of nothing
You were enchanted by the moon,
And a field of
glowing stars that clung,
To the ceiling of your room,
You drew lines to link
their beauty,
Made constellations on your own,
An explorer of the universe,
With your worm bed for a throne,
And you remember one cold evening,
When those stars had lost their light,
How you grabbed your favorite sweater,
And padded out into the night,
And the sight that lay above you,
Made your tiny heart
start reeling,
As a sea of glinting starlight danced,
On the worlds now
darkened Ceiling,
But through the stars strung high above you,
Claimed you were part of it,
You could not stop their large expanse,
From making you feel small,
For despise all of the lines you drew,
The constellations stayed the same,
And every star you made your own,
Already had a name,
But listen young explorer,
For a star's light can be slow,
And the ones you see above you,
Were made a long time ago,
And though the world won't see it,
Until this earth's a lot more worn,
The moment that you saw that sky,
A brand new star was born.
