And every time I take a step, I fall back two
Life's racing ahead, leaving the years behind
I’m young, but inside I feel old
I’ve got wings, but I’m trapped
Wounded, bleeding out
I write my words in my blood, and my father
Honestly, I imagine I’m flying
I sing, wanting my soul to soar
Maybe this isn’t my place, or this time isn’t mine, or I’m just lost
Maybe my dreams and this world are different, or it’s another realm, or I’m crazy
Or maybe

I’m a star, but there’s no sky
I’ve got wings, but there’s no air
I’m a star, but there’s no sky
I’ve got wings, but there’s no air

Then I hear a voice inside me, racing ahead, the other one’s old
A voice that guides and a voice that frees, a voice that lifts
Then who do I turn to, dreaming of tomorrow, I’m awake all night
Day comes, and everything I dreamed starts to unfold
Sometimes I feel like I’m ahead
You’re living in the past, and I’m fighting with it
I see my place, but it’s not here
My dreams are stronger than me and keep going

I’m a star, but there’s no sky
I’ve got wings, but there’s no air
I’m a star, but there’s no sky
I’ve got wings, but there’s no air
I’m a star, but there’s no sky
I’ve got wings, but there’s no air

I’m a star, but there’s no sky
I’ve got wings, but there’s no air
I see far away, but there’s no road
I’ve got stories, who do I tell them to, and I’m just one
