I talk to the stars at night
Remind me that I must stay bright
Even through the dark of night
It's like
Like black ink spilled across the sky
Like bright lights in the darkest of nights
Keep on burning away
Like black ink spilled across the sky
It's like bright lights in the darkest of skies
I'm hoping you light the way
Hoping you'll lead us to better days
Cause we've been running like a horse on the track
Overcome the obstacles
They put 'em right back
16 shots still running
How it feels to be Black
How it is to be Black
In this World- See I talk to the stars at night
For comfort and relief as a reminder
That I still got direction when I got none
For comfort and relief as a reminder
That I still got direction when I got none
See- I talk to the stars at night
For a dark that needs no alibi
Still got fear my brother's life
And all those with the skin like mine
And while we're young and we're still angry
Proud not pleading
It's rather dangerous
I whisper my fears to the stars at night
Paint them red send them to paradise
See I talk to the stars at night
For comfort and relief as a reminder
That I still got direction when I got none
For comfort and relief as a reminder
That I still got direction when I got none
