Shooting Stars

Thoughts and prayers 

On falling stars 

Your heart was there 

But god hath no heart 

 

Prayers and thoughts 

On raining lights 

Just put a Band-aid on 

The hole in the sky 

 

Oh holy one 

What have you done 

Why do they believe you 

After being through 

All the reasons I can’t move on 

 

Rough and misplaced 

Broken my faith 

Why should I stay silent 

It’s not like god took my breath away 

 

Misplaced and rough 

You weren’t wrong 

You gave your heart 

But there is no god (I have no one) 

 

Oh holy one 

What have you done 

Why do they believe you 

After being through 

All the reasons I can’t move on 

 

Oh holy one 

What have you done 

If you just existed 

If you just would listen 

My resistance would crumble to none 

 

I would hold you 

So don’t hold on to him 

I wouldn’t punish you 

I don’t count your sins 

 

But I’m just a girl 

One girl 

And he hath the world 

 

Oh holy lord 

You dropped the ball 

You laid your burden 

On the shoulders 

Of all the people you’ve hurt 

 

But every war we fought 

Against your very thought, tired 

Meant we were wrought 

Through hell’s fire 

And like iron we somehow survived 

 

I wish I liked 

Shooting stars 

But they’re just holes in the sky
