Try

How do you put a star in the sky?
Why is it that some angels can't fly
When do you ressurect the dead
who listens to what the mute have said

Bring down a light to shine on everything
Fly over all the clouds into the dreams
wake up from the darkness and sleep
all is in the world, now just speak

There's only hope where there are dreams
there's some of you in everything
I can see, I can see you there

There's only life where there is love
and one hand can't hold you up
but you can keep on going
if you'll only keep on going
there's a better day ahead

Glue some glitter to make a star
it can only add sparkle to your wings
Breathe in, count to ten
then lift your voice to sing

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
