View From Shore - Burning Star

Shoot so far
Burning star
Remember when we thought the future was in grasp
Nostalgia a thin veneer for that naive improv farce
I'm glad we left that optimism in the past
Woe is me into place the pieces never fell
Puzzling that this picture all works better somehow
Dream for me little star
I wanna see you shoot so far
And prevent you falling too
I'm not ready to let this wretched world have you
Have you
Held together with barely remembered hopes and dreams
Not one mine but the silver line frays at my seams
Well-meaning but I felt the weight of expectation
In your eyes reflected now is my liberation
Dream for me little star
I wanna see you shoot so far
And prevent you falling too
I'm not ready to let the world have you
No, dance for us burning flame
And scream you'll never be tamed
Or even think to fear the night
Oh guide us with your blazing light
Cast discarded dreams into the fire
Fuel beneath your wings to lift you higher
Precious gift, long entrusted to me
Laugh when looking back and know you're free
Cast discarded dreams into the fire
Fuel beneath your wings to lift you higher
Precious gift, long entrusted to me
Laugh when looking back and know you're free
Dream for me little star
I wanna see you shoot so far
And prevent you falling too
I'm not ready to let the world have you
No, dance for us burning flame
And scream you'll never be tamed
Or even think to fear the night
Remind us who we were with your delight
