Star Called Sun
Near a star, called sun,
It was there that my mom came undone
Sounds of a summer parade
90.5 in the shade
She drifted off on the Fourth of July
A holiday look in her eyes
Said goodbye to a lifetime of pain
she died in the midsummer rain
She said:
"There's one million stars
for every little grain of sand...
down there"
She floated up like a rocket in space
The misery gone from her face
Flying through the comets and stars
Out past the canyons on Mars
She saw the future and she saw the past
She said "Don't worry, it's not meant to last
Everything's always Okay
Even the worst of your days
There's one million stars
for every little grain of sand...
down there"
So now she's there when I look at the sky
Or when I drink whiskey or wine
Or when I feel frightened at night
Or days when I'm sick of my life
She says "Son it will all be allright
Everything is already fine
If only you knew what I've seen
You'll never feel frightened again
There's one million stars
for every little grain of sand...
down there"
