With intentions so grand
You put it forward
And offered up your offering
They slapped it down into the dirt
They chastized you
Babe, I know how much it stings

Hey little star
Burning in the dark
Know who you are
But I can't save you
Hey little child
Burning full of bile
Stay for awhile
But I can't save you tonight

Cause I have seen too much unrest
My soul is aching
It needs to lie here for awhile
It sad I have to turn away
Because you're drowning
I see myself in your smile

Hey little star
Burning in the dark
Know who you are
But I can't save you
Hey little child
Burning full of bile
Stay for awhile
But I can't save you tonight
