Remembering stars
Dear friend,
I know you miss this place
I know you've forgotten what it holds,
but let me tell you I was once told
each star is a person's hope
so the shine of one star is the hope of one person
so let me welcome you back to L.A.
where our sky isn't pitch black, but gray
polluted by the demanding society that comes our way
where you struggle to see faith and belief
only to have that relief taken away once you see that hope isn't real
it's just the light of an airplane designed to help you feel
because we know all too well that false hope takes people away
even if it isn't visible in the light of day
well, maybe it is and i just can't tell
if i still have hope it matters not
because I've seen people left to rot
after having seen the stars stolen from their eyes
And i know you miss this place
But i don’t want to see the sorrow on your face
So if you decide to return
Please know,
That i don’t want you to let your hope go
