STARS THAT DON’T BURN OUT
Small town voices say you’re too far gone
All these tired, tired lives
Everybody’s got a Radio
But not a single song to call their own
Everybody’s got a white picket fortress
But not a courageous moment to take home
-Here’s to all the words you never spoke
Songs that burned your mouth in silence
Letters that never found a stamp
-Here’s to all the paint you never spilled
Family Portraits in black and white, fragile plastic perfection
Destinations that never found a map
Chorus: Close your eyes Dream out louder
Run until the morning sun outshines the dark lies that they have spun
Drive until the evening brings the silver linings back to you
Close your eyes Dream out louder
We will lay you down
Beneath a blanket of impossibilities
Your star will never burn out
-Raise a glass to the check-out stand Visionaries
Your star will never burn out!
Fly above the gray haired children
In the house that fear has built
Let your hymns of freedom break the chains
Cause it sounds like chained up melodies they’re handing out
-Anthems of Mothers afraid to be alone so they control
Fathers like weary lions locked up in a cage too long
Sons that won’t leave home to find their strength and a reason to go the war
Daughters who want the knight but fear the sword and losing their control
Chorus: Close your eyes Dream out louder
Run until the morning sun outshines the dark lies that they have spun
Drive until the evening brings the silver linings back to you
Close your eyes Dream out louder
We will lay you down
Beneath a blanket of impossibilities
Your star will never burn out
Raise a glass to the check-out stand Visionaries
Your star will never burn out!
-Dream out louder until nobody here
Is afraid to be alive
Friend tonight is yours to be a dreamer
No one here is going to steal the light you shine
Close your eyes Dream out louder
We will lay you down
Beneath a blanket of impossibilities
Your star will never burn out
Raise a glass to the check-out stand Visionaries
Your star will never burn out!
Prayer for The Stars That Don’t Burn Out
Dream Giver
We ask for You to return to us all the Dreams they Stole
We ask for You to lock the door inside that let the Vision Stealer In
We ask you to take us Home where we have never Been
We ask for the Courage to open our eyes and believe in You Again
More than this, We ask for to You show us what You can do through us if we let You
If we let You be the One that is the Source of Our Hope, the One that lets the Impossible Begin
“I will bless ADONAI, who counsels me. Even at night my heart instructs me.”
Psalm 16:7 Tree of Life Version
