Starlight

I think about home a lot
I think about where I’ve been
It’s not that I forgot
That my thick skin was thin

Familiar all too much
Although we cannot touch
A past that’s too far gone
The lightening’s in the dawn

Now I’ll stop looking back
On that old heart attack
I can, I can, breathe again
Though I will not leave you when
I am , older, bolder
With starlight on my shoulder
On my shoulder

The river takes it all
And how we once felt small
And you could take the blame
But we won’t play that game

The calm can happen slow
And once you get to know
A peace that can reside
And anchor deep inside

The dust begins to clear
And I’m still standing here
I can, I can, breathe again
Though I will not leave you when
I am , older, bolder
With starlight on my shoulder
On my shoulder

I can, I can, breathe
I can, I can, breathe
I can, I can, breathe
I can, I can, breathe
