You may not believe it now
as you hear it, but believe me
shooting stars live a hundred years
beyond their moments of brilliance
and that\'s why the good suffer
and die young - some from poison
and some from confidence
Shooting stars are larger than life
and will never be understood
for lucifer knows God\'s garden
and the lay of the land
Still we yearn, for constant stars
and not shooting ones
that take us with them
The many who suffer, die young
and die promising
We must pray for our children
