Stella's gone and died at seventeen
The evil of the world burned out her heart
Mommy puts her faith in Viv she's only three
"This time you will be safe right from the start"
Grow up sweet child, make this house a home
Become all the star-eyed kids, your mommy couldn't own
And come back everyday into her loving arms,
for God would only keep you as a star
Viv has ran away at seventeen
Her lifeless arms embrace the cold highway
Mommy puts her faith in you, the only one
"Keep your smile no matter what they say"
Live on sweet child, make yourself a home
Show your kids the star-eyed love, the world won't let us own
Your sisters will return as pairs of loving arms
and send their smiles back from among the stars
The world remembers all there's been
and love is ours to give
The stars will never fall asleep,
the dead nor ones that live
And all the husbands, all the sons,
the daughters lost to time,
we could do much more than just keep them in our minds
"Won't you let me be reborn, send me back to earth?"
"Child, you died ten years ago, you've had your chance at birth"
"The paradise they try to build, your absence makes undone:
You were given everything, what made you want to run?"
I remember
But you won't send me back to earth
I remember
But you won't send me back to earth
I remember all there's been
and help is ours to give
How has justice died away, when it had yet to live?
Evil men still walk the earth to fill their empty arms,
so why'd you only keep me as a distant little star?
Why'd you only keep me as a distant little star?
Let me go
