Once bright, but no more

Do you know why the stars hid away.
Why they once used to shine for us,
But now they run away: upset.

It's cause of us,
Us who forgot to thank them for lighting our ways,
Finding us and leading us through ...

But when we found our own light,

They lost their job
A job which was paid by our relief

Which they happily accepted.

So once again tonight
When the street lights awaken
They shy away into nothing

So the story goes on,

As the stars,
Once bright,
But no more
