No one gave you the tools to make a real life
And they delivered most of the parts, but you couldn't get it right
And if your mind is blind to the walls you made in the past
And if the boredom of trivial roads has led to a crash

Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers
Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light

And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star of light

And there are dreams on Earth, you need three lives to fulfill
And there are lives you live till the end by standing still
And we've got too many lives at either end of the night
And we've got plenty of lives cut short by what we carry inside

Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers
Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star
A burning star of light

And tell me something I don't know, and maybe I've lived too long
I've got a bad case of I told you so, and it's hard to hold my tongue
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star
A burning star, a burning star of light
