O, Shooting Star

O, shooting star, I welcome you

'neath tattered hills and vulkum dunes

I pierce the sky, sweet butterfly, and I sing, on...through...

O, shooting star, please light the way,

I fear the promises of the coming days,

My bed is worn, my arms decayed

O, shooting star I Gayleyleye



The evening breeze that I foresee continues to empower me

I hear the voice, I spread its wings, 'til life and death depletes--

I gaze away, these seeds of change, and echoes loudly as though I'm gay

O, how freely, oh how freely, oh, freely, oh, how freely oh, how freely I hold..
