Star

A single light shows the way

As he walks to center stage

Amid the rumblings from beyond

Where darkness hides the faces

Of the people

Fans

Hungry animals

Who will love you

Or devour you

Take you to immortality

Or bury you

In the musicians graveyard

Of bad reviews

Empty halls

Shattered dreams

But he has risen above

So many who came before

Forgotten bands and nameless faces

Hit songs that never were

Yet for him

Music turns gold

Words echo forever

In the voices

Of the millions

Who worship him

Put him on a throne

Like a king

Let him sing

He’s a Star
