Children and their Stars
When we were children, we turned to the stars.
We looked to them for guidance. We flipped coins and there, we found answers.
Without doubts our worries, quelled. It all seemed so simple.
Now we talk to our therapists, google our stresses
Our next big decision hinges on THEIR answers.
Where did our stars go? Can anyone find a coin?
When did we lose our trust and wonder in the world.
We need this again.
The stars are the only things that can save us.
We looked to them for guidance. We flipped coins and there, we found answers.
Without doubts our worries, quelled. It all seemed so simple.
Now we talk to our therapists, google our stresses
Our next big decision hinges on THEIR answers.
Where did our stars go? Can anyone find a coin?
When did we lose our trust and wonder in the world.
We need this again.
The stars are the only things that can save us.
