Child of Stars Lyrics:
She fell like a star from the cradle of night
With a wish in her soul and her heart burning bright
No name, no form, no memory to keep
Only a longing too ancient, too deep

A whisper she followed from a fallen star’s gleam
Surrendered her to earth in a heartbreaking dream

She awoke where the forest kissed sky and ground
Where moonlight and sunlight together were found
The wind took her scent and the river her name
All the rain falling sang that she’d never be the same

The animals paused, the tall grasses bowed
The sky burst into colors, laughing out loud
A voice in the stillness, a warning, a vow:
“Hold tight to your light, it’s the only thing now.”

Oh child of stars, you begged to be clay
To bleed and to break, and to wander astray
But don’t forget what burns in your core
You’re more than the life you’re looking for
So let go,
Be whole
And never trade your starlight to borrow a soul

She tried to belong, but her heart couldn’t lie
Her soul wore a mask that she couldn’t untie
She wandered through lovers, through silence and crowds
But found only noise where peace wasn’t allowed

She stared at the night as if it could speak
Each star a reminder of a life she did seek
She buried her light just to try to survive
But nothing outside her felt truly alive

Then a whisper returned like a dream in the haze
A voice from beyond the illusion and maze
She heard it in moonlight, in rivers, in rain
A pull from the stars she could never explain

“You are not lost, though you’ve wandered so far
You’re still what you were, a fiery star”
And something inside her began to awake
A truth remembered the shape it could take

Oh child of stars, you begged to be clay
To bleed and to break, and to wander astray
But don’t forget what burns in your core
You’re more than the life you’re looking for
So let go,
Be whole
And never trade your starlight to borrow a soul

When life couldn’t hold what was burning beneath
She lay down her questions and offered her grief
She sighed her last breath like a note on the breeze
And her soul rose up, finally at ease

She flew through the black, past the edge of the air
The moon saw her coming and waited her there
He opened his hands like he always had done
And welcomed her back to where she’d belonged

Oh child of stars, you begged to be clay
To feel all the things that would cut you away
But don’t forget what was always yours
You’re not just the scars, you’re the force that endures
So let go,
Be whole
And never trade your starlight to borrow a soul

“You were there when I fell to the world,” she said
“I was,” said the moon, with a tilt of his head
“I kissed your soul so you’d find your way
When the time came to rise from the dark of the day.”

She smiled and knew she was finally free
Unchained by the weight of who she’d tried to be
No body could bind her, no name could contain
The wild within her that shimmered again

So fly through the night with your spirit released
Love without fear, shine without cease

Now she’s the streak in a sky full of dreams
The echo of silence where wonder still gleams
And the moon, though quiet, will never forget…
The star who returned with no more regret

Oh child of stars, you begged to be clay
To feel all the things that would cut you away
But don’t forget what burns in your core
You’re more than the life you’ve been looking for
So let go,
Be whole
And never trade your starlight to borrow a soul

So let go,
Be whole
And never trade your starlight to borrow a soul

Love to you,
Emery
