My feet are tired and weary
For they have nothing to do
I have no one to walk with
And nowhere to walk to
And no path to walk along

Yesterday there was blue sky
I saw it through the window
But I was too lazy to feel it

And instead, I felt the stars
I felt their cold, sharp eyes on me
And I felt the despair rise in my soul
And the tears form in my eyes

Then I realised
How far they are from me
Millions of miles from us all
And I smiled

Why worry about miles
When the universe is measured in light years?
