star light, star bright, there is a God, hear me pray tonight

I can see one star through the trees

It's cold on the front porch but I don't want to leave

So I spill more in poetry than I should spill in leaves

My whole life I have to choose to actively believe

And here I am trying, reaching to percieve

A God I can't fathom, a page I can't read

It's a story, a sick tragedy, part of me thinks

How dare I think that my God is one strictly of comedy

But they talk about miracles that I'll crush with my teeth

My God is of love, my sin wants to compete

I'm singing thosewords, not sure what they mean

They're handing me confidence knitted with string

I asked for a stone and they gave me a screen

You can't rely on a world so desperately mean

I'm reaching, God, I'm reaching

Just like a tree

I can't quite understand, looks like you'll have to meet me

It's cold and it's dark, cancer stands unforgiving 

Here's to fighting without cause, here's to running and tripping

I won't beg for a miracle, but since you're there, please

Give me something to lean on, I'm screaming for peace
