Scattering Of Stars

I saw the scattering of stars, and whispered at them given names

I read a book when i was young, said even stars they go away

Apparently they are so far, and a beam of light doesn’t need a name

And now we look up in the sky, and trails of light with given names

There was a time when it was hard, and people lived a different day

We say that as if we were there, But it’s in our songs so its not the case

And which comes first the need for change

Or the subdivision of our fate,

And now we look up in the sky, at trails of light with given names

Well the pioneers they had their day, Just the path ahead and their given names

They forgot to write the reasons down, Or lost the books along the way

Cause i looked at every single page And only learned that stars go away

And now we look up in the sky, at trails of light with given names.
