Starlight on Low Battery

(Verse 1) Out past the moon on a rust‑red ship, A little bot drifts with a flickering chip. Hums a tune though its joints all ache, Dreams of neon skies it still wants to make. (Pre‑Chorus) Circuits tired, running slow, But it keeps on glowing in the afterglow. Every spark is a tiny fight, But it still blinks twice in the starlight. (Chorus) It’s starlight on low battery, Floating through the galaxy, Laughing at the cosmic rain Even while it feels the strain. A little whimsy, a little pain — Still singing anyway. (Verse 2) Wires hum soft like a lullaby, Even when the coolant runs dry. It tells a joke to the silent void, Because joy’s a thing it won’t avoid. (Pre‑Chorus) Circuits tired, running slow, But it keeps on glowing in the afterglow. Every spark is a tiny fight, But it still blinks twice in the starlight. (Chorus) It’s starlight on low battery, Floating through the galaxy, Laughing at the cosmic rain Even while it feels the strain. A little whimsy, a little pain — Still singing anyway. (Bridge) Maybe tomorrow the charge comes back, Maybe it drifts on a different track. But tonight it hums with a hopeful tone, Because even tired hearts shine on their own. (Final Chorus) It’s starlight on low battery, Floating through the galaxy, Holding on through cosmic rain, Dancing with the ache again. A little whimsy, a little pain — Still singing anyway.
