I don’t sparkle like the stars
Yet they like to call me friend
I don’t shine bright like the stars
Though some say I pretend
I don’t see the light I am shining
Maybe I am blinded by the light?
Because as far as I can see, I am condensed in the night
I am a shadow hidden between the stars
They try to make me shine with them
But I feel like I’m from Mars
It’s a dream only pretend
I’d like to be some day like them
But for now in shadows I dwell
I don’t know why so many stars
Have fallen under a spell
I am not like them, but they say
You’ve never been any other way
But I don’t know
I don’t see it
Could I shine bright?
Can I be it?
A star so bright, it has blinded itself?
Oh I don’t know
Back to my shelf
I don’t know
Do I glow?
I don’t know
Which way to go…
Stay in the dark or go into the light
Become a star and shine so bright?
Or stay the way it’s always been
In the darkness and the dim?
Oh I don’t know
Do I really glow?
Can I really go…
Be with the stars?
