E - Everyone

Somewhere Among The Stars

NOTE: If classified as a poem, only one "chorus" is ok.

VERSE ONE:

You're on the countryside

I'm in the city night

You're gazing at the stars

Why are we so far apart

I'm with the neon lights

On your side, the moon glows bright

Our love slowly dies

And then it fades away

CHORUS:

I'm on the streets, you're with the sky

I'm falling low, you're lifted high

But someplace among the shooting stars

A journey far from where we are

A light that heals the wounds and scars

The lock you put on your broken heart

I know there is a chance, can we restart?

BRIDGE:

Among the stars

Among the stars

We aren't too far

Among the stars

VERSE TWO:

You're in the sun, I'm in the rain

You're so free, and I'm going insane

Cars speed past me, left in the dust

While you enjoy the gentle wind gust

CHORUS:

I'm on the streets, you're with the sky

I'm falling low, you're lifted high

But someplace among the shooting stars

A journey far from where we are

A light that heals the wounds and scars

The lock you put on your broken heart

I know there is a chance, can we restart?

VERSE THREE:

Someplace, a new world with no hate

A new world with no shame

You can be a hero

No one will ever blame

Instead of an outcast

Driven into exile

Never something that would last

CHORUS:

I'm on the streets, you're with the sky

I'm falling low, you're lifted high

But someplace among the shooting stars

A journey far from where we are

A light that heals the wounds and scars

The lock you put on your broken heart

I know, I know, there is a chance, can we restart?

I know, I plead

Because somewhere among the shooting stars

A journey far from where we are

A future where we aren't apart

I know there is a chance, can we restart?

Hey CATS, great work! unlike a lot of time when i see lyrics written out, I can clearly see the rhythm, and can imagine how each word fits in! you do very well with rhyming, as well as pacing and syllable counts. you also do a great job of painting out the scene! I feel the messages are very clear, without you needing to say them directly. All in all, great work! Keep writing!

Aw, I'm so glad to hear that you liked it! I did put effort into rhyming so that it would be more smooth. Thanks so much for dropping by and giving a wonderful review!

This is really pretty, I actually started thinking of a melody while reading it. It feels slow and sorrowful, with gentle envy or resentment. It's ethereal, beautifully written. It's like a letter, really - a question, an accusation, maybe - and an explanation. The reminder to them of the difference in your lives. "You're in the sun, I'm in the rain."
