I learned to walk when I was one |
|
Beneath the Oklahoma sun |
|
And from that day, I started taking my own route |
|
I learned to read when I was two |
|
And I believed it all was true |
|
Too young to fill my mind with questions and with doubt |
|
I made my first friend when I was three |
|
But by four, he moved away so very far from me |
|
At five I wondered why, people live and people die |
|
And why the things I loved just slowly slipped away from me |
|
And only stars remained the same |
|
Cold night, starlight |
|
We are not alone |
|
Cold night, starlight |
|
We are not alone |
|
We're together on our own |
|
I said goodbye when I was ten |
|
To Santa Claus and all his friends |
|
I had to leave those childish stories all behind |
|
But when they told me god was real |
|
I just couldn't help but feel |
|
This burning question that was tugging on my mind |
|
By the time I was eleven, I had given up on heaven |
|
And everything was falling into place |
|
I kept my mouth shut, so I wouldn't rock the boat |
|
Because a kid who's fallen overboard is just too ashamed to float |
|
And still the stars remained the same |
|
Cold night, starlight |
|
We are not alone |
|
Cold night, starlight |
|
We are not alone |
|
We're together on our own |
|
I learned to walk, when I was one |
|
Without a crutch to lean upon |
|
I had to relearn everything |
|
My legs were weak without the wings |
|
But I'm stronger now, my mind is free |
|
Controlling my own destiny |
|
When I write the final chapter |
|
That's the last you'll read of me |
|
Today I went to see a friend |
|
His days are almost at an end |
|
The doctors say he's got a month or two to live |
|
He called to me there from his bed |
|
And with a weakening voice he said |
|
"If there's no god, then tell me what the hell's the point?" |
|
I didn't have an answer, so I looked at him and said |
|
You were always giving love, you could have taken it instead |
|
This journey may be pointless, but at least I sure can say |
|
You made it better for the rest of us you passed along the way |
|
And still the stars remain the same |
|
Cold night, starlight |
|
We are not alone |
|
Cold night, starlight |
|
We are not alone |
|
We're together on our own |
|
Cold night, starlight |
|
We are not alone |
|
We are not alone |
|
Cold night, starlight |
|
We are not alone |
|
We're together on our own |
