every star can shine

I watch the clouds gather up in the sky
And I try harder to let this moment slip by
I wonder if there really is a paradise
Or if the promises of an after-life just fat lies

I thought I knew what love felt like
A process waiting for the pain to subside
Hoping to sedate the sorrows I feel inside
Hoping to see a shimmer of glittering light

Reminisce about a broken promise
Memories stored clear like in a compact disc
Sadness of a prisoner trapped in a cell
Relinquish is the only ticket out of hell

I thought I knew what freedom felt like
A state of mind abstaining from personal pride
Hoping to break from what we left behind
Hoping to see that every star.. every star can shine
