I'M Just a Shooting Star

I look out the window as I take to the sky I just spread my wings because I think I can fly The darkness surrounding doesn't matter anymore What the future has in store I'm really not sure. Up above the clouds is where I think I'm free Where once I was blind finally I can see I look out the window but I can't see the ground I drift through space without making a sound. The stars are up above me but I can't look up I start to feel thirst so I drink from the cup Looking around things are not like before Things that once mattered simply don't anymore. I start to lose altitude as I plunge toward the end I'm never quite certain of the message I send Sometimes I feel like I'm just a shooting star I burn up in the atmosphere before I get too far. All of a sudden I find myself back on the ground I don't feel so lost with the new friends I've found I look to the future because it isn't here yet I just can't believe my whole life rode in a bet. I walk past the wreckage and it feels like the end The final result wasn't the message that I send The candle does flicker representing my hope Maybe I can wash it away with just a little soap. The light grows weaker as I begin to have faith I just need some gravity before drift out in space I feel as though it all just slips through my hands Why this happens to me I just don't understand.
