Star Child

A child 5 years of age stared into the sun

She stared into the bright lights so long it

Burnt a hole in her mind and branded her eyes

It imprinted upon her soul, mysteries of both young and old

And then she'd close her eyes tight to feel the darkness



She's a dancing girl, dancing girl

She danced so fast, so fine

She danced around with her eyes shut

To see the stars in her mind

A spinning jupiter, a spinning mars

She herself was just a singing star

A breathing constellation



Cause she's a bright point of light

Traveling through the skies of her mind

Oh and how she knew the stars

And the map of the human heart



For long lengths of time, she'd stay in her mind

And follow roads back, ancient tracks and primitive times

When giant birds lifted themselves of

Starry wings to burn white, fiery silhouettes into the night sky



She's a dancing girl, dancing girl

She danced for them

And she followed all the lines back

To where they did begin

She saw her mother in pegas wings'

She felt her father in a scorpial sting

A genetic constellation



Cause she was a bright point of light

Traveling through the skies of her mind

Oh and how she knew the stars

And the map of the human heart



She saw bursting flowers made of lucride stone

Shooting stars who songs sang to her bones

She saw stories her grandfather used to tell

His flesh was frozen was frozen and kept so well

And a clear meeting of words, but pictures to

Tell her what she knew she needed to hear



She's a dancing girl, dancing girl

She danced so fast, so well

And she danced until her knees got weak

And all resistance fell

And all the walls, they came tumbling down

She stood eyes open, back on the ground

Wiser, full of glory



She was a bright point of light

Traveling through the skies of her mind

Oh and how she knew the stars

And the map of the human heart
