Made of Stars

MADE OF STARS

2008

I am not an apartment or a car

Not the beer on the kitchen floor

Or the notice on the door

I am not a mess

Not the clothes that don't fit anymore

Famous unknown or rich or poor

Or the faded intention of the day

I am not a dress

Not anything I've left undone

Not the day that I'm not any fun

Not the girl I want to be

Or the girl I've already been

Crying for health achievement and wealth

Because I have this to say to myself

And I would say please say it too

But it's up to you

What you've gotta do

I am not my figure

I am not my clothes

I wear the brightest colors down my body in a row

The Spirit is the Savior

I'm not on my own

With or without a lover we all have a lover's soul

Now, when you wonder how you're only human, but made of stars

Now will show you how

You are not the sound inside your brain

Not an artifact of pain

Not an addiction or a bore

You are not a trap

Not the time you have to wait

Not the time that calls your name

Not commitment or escape

You are not the past

And is anything the way you see it

With or without words, the story of freedom

Doesn't ever have to be just a nightmare or a dream

Why would I let fear of death

Tell me that all there is to expect

Is sorrow, envy or regret

That I'll remember or forget

Like a paycheck

I'm not my place of birth

Though the truest law I've heard is the sound of Mother Earth

I surrender to the season

Help me, help me grow

Cause I wont live forever

But forever in my soul

Now, when you wonder how you're only human, but made of stars

Now will show you how
