Child Star

Well I'm going round and round

The edges of my energy

I'm pulling in influences

From here and from there

Well I touch you and give a little

A little of my energy

And then I'll, I'll, I'll be on my way

Well it's so hard, it's so hard

So hard to be out here

A far point above the nearest star

Well I'm struggling in a time

I wasn't really born for

But the calm and easy spirit

It satisfies my soul

Well it's so hard, so hard

So hard to be a star

Well it's so hard, so hard

So hard to be a star

Well it's so hard, so hard

So hard to be a star

Well it's so hard, so hard

So hard to be a star

Alone amongst the gods

Partaking in their knowledge

That the world will be here

Beyond our timid lives

And greatness, real greatness

It comes to only a precious few

And the rest of us give in

To human impulses

Well it's so hard, so hard

So hard to be a star

It's so hard, so hard

So hard to be a star

Well as I sit and view this world

With my inner eye and mind

Knowing that the young

Have the future in their tiny hands

I just hope they make

They make the most of what we've left

Because when they're old

The world will be dead and gone

Well it's so hard, so hard

So hard to be a star

It's so hard, so hard

So hard to be a star

Well it's so hard, so hard

So hard to be a star

It's so hard, so hard

So hard to be a star
