[Verse] She presses her little face to the window glass so cold A little girl with a story That noone wants to be told She has Bruises that whisper and scars that plead and shout In the quiet of night she tries to dream her way out [Chorus] She prays Oh god If I were a night star I'd shine so ever bright High up in your sky with no pain in sight No one could ever hurt me no more tears from my eyes would fall I'd be a guiding light for one and for all [Verse 2] Her tiny hands trace patterns in the night air Drawing a world where she doesn't need to be scared The moon is her best friend and the stars are her real kin Because if she can get to that vast sky she can finally have a real life and begin [Chorus] She prays Oh god If I were a night star I'd shine so ever bright High up in your sky with no pain in sight No one could ever hurt me no more tears from my eyes would fall I'd be a guiding light for one and for all [Bridge] Way Up there there is no yelling There is no fists to land Just lots of cosmic dust and jehovah using the galaxy's hand She closes her eyes and takes a giant leap Into the night stars where she can safely sleep [Chorus] She prays Oh god If I were a night star I'd shine so ever bright High up in your sky with no pain in sight No one could ever hurt me no more tears from my eyes would fall I'd be a guiding light for one and for all Verse 3] The bruises may fade but the mental ache will never leave Her heart has been broken and left in a cage she is stuck in a world were there is nothing That she can believe The moon looks so very kind with its silvery hue It looks like a friend that she wishes she already knew Chorus] She prays Oh god If I were a night star I'd shine so ever bright High up in your sky with no pain in sight No one could ever hurt me no more tears from my eyes would fall I promise to be a guiding light for you to show the way for one and for all
