You are a child of the stars
You are an orphan of fate
You are a child of the stars
You are an orphan of fate
You're a bullet locked in the chamber
You were born too late
Morning comes like a dog to steal your spirit away
Morning comes like a dog to steal your spirit away
The night swallows the sun and devours the day
Yes and you
You're on your own now
Oh and you you're on your own now
You were left to a world where love's a memory
You were left to a world where love's a memory
You stare alone into the face of misery
No one to keep you from harm no one to hear you cry
No one to keep you from harm no one to hear you cry
No one to notice if you live or if you die
Yes and you you're on your own now
Oh and you you're on your own now
And you scrape and beg for your bread
You have to fight everyday
Scrape and beg for your bread
You have to fight everyday
The hawks forever circling you like their prey
You are the last hope of Man
You are the conscience of shame
You are the last hope of Man
You are the conscience of shame
If you don't live till tomorrow who is there to blame
If you don't live till tomorrow who is there to blame
Yes and you you're on your own now
Oh and you you're on your own now
And you you're on your own now
Oh and you you're on your own now
I've been on that mountain for so long for so long
I've been on that mountain for so long
I've been on that mountain for so long for so long
I don't know how I'm going to come down
I don't know how I'm going to come down
I've been on that mountain for so long
For so long
I've been on that mountain for so long
I've been on that mountain for so long
For so long
I don't know how I'm going to come down
I don't know how I'm going to come down
I don't know how I'm going to come down
I don't know how I'm going to come down
I don't know how I'm going to come down
I don't know how I'm going to come down
