(Verse 1) She’s got her lasso wrapped around a star, But I’ve been here before, I know how far, A falling light can drop, fade away, I told him once, “I won’t be led astray.” But here I stand, with the Star in my hand, Is it hope, or just sinking sand? The card says there’s light, but I’m afraid to see, 'Cause the last time, it cost everything of me. (Chorus) Is this star gonna fall or shine? I’ve latched on before, but never felt it’s mine. I want to believe in the hope that it brings, But I’m tangled up in the weight of old things. Letting go of the falling star’s grasp, Maybe this time, I won’t lose what I ask. (Verse 2) I told him, “No falling stars, please,” But he burned out, took me to my knees. Now every light I see in the sky, Feels like a warning, a reason to cry. The Star card shines, says “Believe again,” But can I trust it, when all I’ve seen is when, Hope fades, turns to dust in my hand, Just another falling star in this land. (Chorus) Is this star gonna fall or shine? I’ve latched on before, but never felt it’s mine. I want to believe in the hope that it brings, But I’m tangled up in the weight of old things. Letting go of the falling star’s grasp, Maybe this time, I won’t lose what I ask. (Bridge) The reverse of the card says let go, Of the limits I’ve set, of what I think I know. I see that star, not falling, just bright, But my hands still tremble, holding tight. What if this time, it’s not the same? What if hope isn’t tied to blame? (Chorus) Is this star gonna fall or shine? I’ve latched on before, but never felt it’s mine. I want to believe in the hope that it brings, But I’m tangled up in the weight of old things. Letting go of the falling star’s grasp, Maybe this time, I won’t lose what I ask. (Outro) I look up, and the star looks down, Maybe this time, it won’t let me drown. I’ll release the lasso, let it just be, If the Star stays bright, maybe I’ll see, That hope can survive beyond the fall, Maybe this star won’t drop at all.
