Once a Star

Deep inside of me

There’s a river running wild and free

Like I used to be

As the years went by

I became estranged to myself and my life

A sequel of decay and strife

Waning on…

I lost my sanity so long ago

I still don’t know how this came to pass

I once was a star

On top of everything I came across

But now, alas!

I’m right back at the start

Beneath a darkened sky

The river of life is running dry

Still I don’t know why

It’s hard to remain sane

When all my glee has now been replaced by pain

The only thing that still remains

Waning on…

I lost my sanity so long ago

I still don’t know how this came to pass

I once was a star

On top of everything I came across

But now, alas!

I’m right back at the start

All the things that slipped through my hands

So many things I failed to understand

Is this all there is for me, just a high ordeal

It all seems to me so unreal

Waning on…

I lost my sanity so long ago

I still don’t know how this came to pass

I once was a star

On top of everything I came across

But now, alas!

I’m right back at the start
