The Test

Little Star
I tried to put you on a pedestal
You didn’t ask for all the flashing lights
I didn’t think of how it could disturb
Or how it hurt

I wish I knew, the pain I caused
My butterfly
Was always being watched

I know they try to put us to the test
We’re not the same
But I’m treading on your footsteps
Sometimes I think you wish I’d go away
But my shadow stays
And its ok to be yourself

I know they try to put us to the test
you’re not to blame but
You need to be free now
You made me whole when I was broken too
And I hope and pray I can do the same for you

Its shining on our skin, shining on us (x4)
Surrounding all around you

A hand, tenderly
Reaching to me
You are
My reason to be
Or what I want
Or what I look like
What I wear
Or the clothes
on my back
And what I attract

I trace the line
Of what you have sewn
Keep my own design
Make it a landscape
Make it aligned

I know they tried to put you to the test
I’m not so different
time is knocking on my doorstep
You showed me your razor sharp laser vision
Real brave will make you feel kinda different

I know they tried to put us to the test
I’m not the same im not hanging on your coat tail
Sometimes I wish I could multiply
YOU
But I know
You are
All a
round me

You are
All a
round me

Its shining on our skin, shining on us
Surrounding all around you
