LYRIC FOR SALE

By Kristin Parker

You’ve always flown
Too close to the sun
No one could reach you
Not even me though you said so

Now you’ve left footprints on the moon
And the world has taken you over
A piece of common property
You bathe in the light they shine on you

I’ve always remained
In the shadow of your dreams
Proud to be your home base
We only grew apart

Now you’ve left footprints on the moon
And the world has taken you over
A piece of common property
You bathe in the light they shine on you

We were never one
I thought we could become
Now I see my own mistake
I don’t blame you for the way you live

Now you’ve left footprints on the moon
And the world has taken you over
A piece of common property
You bathe in the light they shine on you

My light to small to give you meaning
I’m not angry but I’m sad
I never told you that I look to the stars like you

Now you’ve left footprints on the moon
And the world has taken you over
A piece of common property
You bathe in the light they shine on you

Left your footprints on the moon
I have yet to leave mine here
