I steal away in the night
To lay down and stare at the stars
I have cancer, I’m going to die,
I can’t help but pray to God.

The stars are so bright tonight,
They’re so unlike my future,
As I stare up at them, I wonder,
“Why am I such a failure?”

I can’t do anything right
Even my parents have given up.
I’m losing everything so close to me.
I don’t have any luck.

The stars are so bright tonight,
They’re so unlike my eyes.
The only thing bright about me,
Are the tears I cry.

I cry cause I can’t change
I cry cause I can’t do anything right
I cry cause I have to leave soon.
I cry cause I’m afraid to die.

As I lie here on the grass
Staring at the stars
My time is almost up here,
Where, or where is God?
