A Letter from the Stars

I tried to stay, I really did

But the sky, it whispered, kid, oh, kid

Your time's not here, it's there instead

I fought so hard, but heaven said

Mama, I'm sorry I couldn't stay

I wanted to hold you just one day

But the stars, they pulled my little hand

Mama, I hope you'll understand

I felt your love, I felt your care

Though I was only briefly there

I saw your tears, I heard your prayer

But my breath, it vanished in the air

Mama, I'm sorry I couldn't stay

I wanted to hold you just one day

But the stars, they pulled my little hand

Mama, I hope you'll understand

I'll be the spark in the evening skies

The quiet hush when the night bird flies

The softest wind that brushes by

I'll be with you, I'll never die

Mama, I'm sorry I couldn't stay

I wanted to hold you just one day

But the stars, they pulled my little hand

Mama, I hope you'll understand

Mama, I hope you'll understand
