How do I compare me to a star?
We both have our nights alike,
Sleepless, thinking about them,
Who sleep tranquil, beneath!
Our eyes never lock at night, and
We see everyone in their tender sleep.
Our eyes never blink in exhaust, but
None detects it under their sun.
Out of sight, out of mind, and
We don’t want to leave ’em behind.
So we both have eyes open on ’em,
Even while they live under their sun.
It’s dark around; I’m not their sun,
Just a star; but will keep on burning,
With the light from the Eternal Sun, for
Someone may get some light, though little.
