- Starlight -

When I look at stars 
I see a light
Looking for a way,
out of the night.

To bring you up
and take you away,
To go and brighten
someone else's day.

That is a day
far from now,
when you'll leave the world
without looking down.

Don't be shy
to look at the sky,
and think what might happen
after you die.

Just look beyond
the eyes sight,
look past the stars
into the night.

Do you see anyone
that you have known,
looking down at you
never leaving you alone.
