HANDFUL OF STARS
Long ago I had a dream
That I would be a star
And so I played an open stage
But didn't get that far
Hanging out with a Handful of Stars
Chasing the night away
Our dreams to make it to the top
Missed the light of day
And like the light of an ancient star
T hat reaches us this day
I'd like my song to reach to you
After I fade away
Stars are bound to drift apart
The universe expands
It's sad to see on looking back
Our dreams got out of hand
I might have climbed right up the charts
Or burned up in a dive
But heaven helped me on the way
And kept the dream alive
And like the light of an ancient star
T hat reaches us this day
I'd like my song to reach to you
After I fade away
There was a wall at the open stage
Where stars would leave their names
This song goes out to everyone
Who shares the quest for fame
The world becomes a brighter place
When dreamers take a chance
And like all stars that fill up space
They need no song to dance
The silent hearts within us all
Are longing to be heard
I only hope my long lost friends
Will find me in these words
