I look up to the endless sky
I find a star and I call it mine
Reach out and I try to grasp it
I have a question id like to ask it
Why do you shine
Only at night
Why don't you always share your light
And he said I shine to forget and I shine to remember
I shine to attack and also surrender
I shine to speak but also to listen
I watch him shine through a teardrops glisten
Philosopher
Can you hear me
Your words how I hold them dearly
Ive always wondered why you spin
The words you do with ink and pen
I hear your words ring through the night
Tell me please why do you write
And he said I write to forget and I write to remember
I write to attack and also surrender
I write to speak but also to listen
I hear his words with a teardrops glisten
A boy walked and he sang my song
I wondered if id heard it wrong
I stopped where I stood and I called out
He looked at me and I heard him shout
He told me he wants to write a song
And asked me where he'd gone wrong
He said he wanted to sing like me
And asked how I could set him free
And I said we sing to forget and we sing to remember
We sing to attack and also surrender
We sing to speak but also to listen
I see his smile through a teardrops glisten
