Counting The Stars

"Counting The Stars"

I lay on my rooftop at night
And count each shining star

I tell each one their own secret
Taken from the lessons learned in life

They take it and smile
Ponder it for a minute, then fade

I tell them all, then the next
Until I am left with just the color of pitch

I am left with only the shadows of the moon
Who pulls its shine from the sun

Emptying every hearts contempt for freedom
Silencing every thirst for love
