The Lost Star-Child

Sometimes I simply wonder what it is that I am seeking from life. Sometimes I think I know, but of late I don't know at all. Sometimes I think I've simply lost myself in this expanse that we call the Universe... And all of a sudden, as I gaze upon the sea, at the end of day, watching the crimson fade away into the darkening blue - there seems to be no respite.

It seems that someone with a wave of his hand just blotted out the stars... The skies that gave me life, the stars that set me ablaze all seem gone - behind a curtain of clouds. I sat there for long, very long - fighting with the sea, the skies to just see one star, just one star to wish upon for the fire in the star would surely make miracles...

But it seems the whole Universe has conspired - The sea rages, the wind blows, and the earth spins on in everlasting motion and yet no sign of my star-child.

I wonder what it was that I did - for I loved the skies and it gave me a star-child - and then before I knew it, my star-child was gone ...

Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your God
Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost
Could you ever take a life when all was lost
And would it ever be enough

Could you bite the hand that feeds you and then ask for more
Could you kiss the wound that bleeds spit it on the floor
Could you open up your heart then close the door
And would it ever be enough

Every word you whisper
All the tears you hide
You die for love when it's alive
But where does love go when it dies

If you came across your dream would you walk on by
Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die
And is there room inside your mind for one more try
And would it ever be enough

I watch the time go rushing by it's like an ocean wave
Showing you no mercy throwing dirt upon your grave
You're drowning in the darkness and you're blinded by the light
And there ain't no prayer that's gonna save you now

If you woke up from your sleep blood on your hands
Would you wash the pain away no one understands
There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again
And would it ever be enough

Every word you whisper
All the tears you hide
You'll die for love
When it's alive
Where does love go when it dies?

(Where Does Love Go When It Dies, Def Leppard)
