she holds the world in her fingertips
all the joy and all the pain
she only has to close her eyes and open them again
to find out what is good and what is true and what remains

when she cries, I swear that I have never seen a sadder star
fall, from the sky

she holds a promise in her beating heart
and I will never understand
how her mother and her father
could bring her into this world and give her life
and refuse to let her hold it in her hands

when she cries, I swear that I have never seen a sadder star
fall, from the sky

and it can t feel good
not to trust the one you love the most
and she can t feel good
knowing she s not trusted by the one who loves her most

when she cries, I swear that I have never seen a sadder star
fall, from the sky
