Tears of a Star

Tonight I am the loneliest star in the sky, As the whole universe can not hear me cry-- Even though I am in the center for all to view, I am too far to shine in this infinite blue. Hidden by the sun and the moon at night, all the astrologers would forget my light-- It seems I still do not have my own name-- to a --star gazer-- we're all just one in the same. The coldness of space does not compare though, if only the earth would know of my glow-- from above I can see billions of smiling faces, even the most remote and mysterious of places. No one will ever know of what I am worth, I might as well burn out and fall to the earth-- they know of Alpha Centauri and the great polaris, while they are remembered it is me they embarrass. I wonder how long it will take to be found, if only I were blue and somewhat more round-- For now I will wait until their eyes are on me, until then I am no more than sand in the sea.
