Lyrics

Burning Star (single)

If no one gave you the tools to make a real life
They delivered most of the parts,
But you couldn’t get it right
If your mind is blind to laws you knew wouldn’t last
If the boredom of trivial roads lead to a crash

Somewhere up above the clouds
Among a million prayers
Flies a little hope of mine
If someone out there cares

Back on earth, I see it here
It shines its endless light
Alone like us in empty space;
The burning star of life

There are dreams on earth
You need three lives to fulfill
And there are lives you’ve lived ’till the end
By standing still
We’ve got too many lives at either end of a knife
We’ve had plenty of lives cut short
By what we carry inside..

Tell me something I don’t know
Maybe I’ve lived too long
I’ve got a bad case of I told you so
And it’s hard to hold my tongue

Back on earth, I see it here
It shines its endless light
Alone like us in empty space;
The burning star
The burning star
The burning star of life

Step into the church of blues
Yeah, where every note is true
We’ve got a noise to lose your pain in
A place to dream away in
After all that you’ve been through

Yeah leave your troubles by the door
And blessed be the chords
We all know that heaven’s waiting
Are you ready for your amen?
Cuz we’re all kings and fools
In everything we do
Inside the church of blues..

We’ve got a prayer for the loud
We’ve got a prayer for the living
We’ve got a prayer for the crowd
We’ve got a prayer for the giving

It’s what the church of blues is about
Yeah we’ve got love and we’ve got it loud
See it’s never growing old
Bless your ears and soul
We’re living rocknroll

I’ll give a sermon you can trust
It’s about a burning bush of lust
Yeah the gift of life is shown
Your soul is still your own
We get to pick our truth
In everything we do
Inside the church of blues

We’ve got a prayer for the loud
We’ve got a prayer for the living
We’ve got a prayer for the crowd
We’ve got a prayer for the giving
We’ve got a prayer for the fans
We’ve got a prayer for the dreamers
We’ve got a prayer for the band
We’ve got a prayer for the screamers

It’s what the church of blues is about
We’ve got a prayer for the loud
