God's Star

Little star, little one
The others say that you're not done
But save your strength and you'll see
Just how bright you can be.

See the earth come and go,
Such a distance, going slow.
How long the night for such a star,
And no one knows who you are.

For you're the weakest of them all.
You get so tired you start to fall.
You're such a brave little light,
That fights so hard to stay so bright.

For as you're marching to a different drum,
You know where your light is coming from.
And, as you turn over a new leaf,
We see your star though all so brief.
