Once a Star
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Deep inside of me
There’s a river running wild and free
Like I used to be
As the years went by
I became estranged to myself and my life
A sequel of decay and strife
Waning on…
I lost my sanity so long ago
I still don’t know how this came to pass
I once was a star
On top of everything I came across
But now, alas!
I’m right back at the start
Beneath a darkened sky
The river of life is running dry
Still I don’t know why
It’s hard to remain sane
When all my glee has now been replaced by pain
The only thing that still remains
Waning on…
I lost my sanity so long ago
I still don’t know how this came to pass
I once was a star
On top of everything I came across
But now, alas!
I’m right back at the start
All the things that slipped through my hands
So many things I failed to understand
Is this all there is for me, just a high ordeal
It all seems to me so unreal
Waning on…
I lost my sanity so long ago
I still don’t know how this came to pass
I once was a star
On top of everything I came across
But now, alas!
I’m right back at the start
