Stars in her Eyes

How did a beautiful girl

With stars in her eyes

Turn into someone so fearful and numb

Who always felt criticised

How did this golden one

Who lived to sing and dance

Become reduced to a sleepwalker

Roaming life in a trance

How can it be

That she lost her way

When those who betrayed

Were the ones who stole her power away

And how now can she find her way home

To truth and to love

Maybe this emptiness she feels was never hers

Maybe the silence that stretches before her

Was another’s curse

Maybe she is not really lost

And can in time find her way

Back to

Open fields of love

Where she can sing dance and play

Maybe this dark orphan

Who felt so alone

Will in time rediscover

The golden self inside

Who knew just how her heart felt

And how to follow its messages

Back to the light

That gives rise once again

To the stars

In her eyes
