Near a star called Sun
It was there that my mom came undone
Sounds
of a summer parade
90.5 in the shade
She drifted off on the
4th of July
A holiday look in her eyes
Said goodbye to a lifetime
of pain
She died in a mid-summer rain
She said
There's one
million stars
For every little grain of sand down there
She
floated up like a rocket in space
The misery gone from her face
Flying
through comets and stars
Out past the canyons on Mars
She saw
the future and she saw the past
She said, don't worry, it's not meant
to last
Everything's always OK
Even the worst of your days
There's one million stars…
So now she's there when I look at the sky
Or
when I drink whisky or wine
Or when I feel frightened at night
Or
days when I'm sick of my life
She says, son it'll all be alright
Everything's
already fine
If only you knew what I've seen
You'd never feel
frightened again
There's one million stars…
