[Verse 1]
Dm
No one gave you the tools to make a real life
Ab G Dm
And they delivered most of the parts, but you couldn't get it right
Dm
And if your mind is blind to the walls you made in the past
Ab G Dm
And if the boredom of trivial roads has led to a crash
[Chorus]
Dm C F A#
Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers
Dm C F A#
Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares
Dm C F A#
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
Dm C F A# Dm
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star of light
[Verse 2]
Dm
And there are dreams on Earth, you need three lives to fulfill
Ab G Dm
And there are lives you live ’til the end by standing still
Dm
And we've got too many lives at either end of the night
Ab G Dm
And we've got plenty of lives cut short by what we carry inside
[Chorus]
Dm C F A#
Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers
Dm C F A#
Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares
Dm C F A#
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
Dm C F A#
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star
A#
A burning star of light

[Alternative Chorus]
Dm A#
Tell me something I don’t know, and maybe I've lived too long
Dm C F A#
I've got a bad case of I-told-you-so, and it's hard to hold my tongue
Dm C F A#
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
Dm C F A#
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star
A# Dm
A burning star, a burning star of light
