BORN TO BE A STAR

Damn the night
Damn this dream
Pray for the light and
Try not to scream
The link to life becomes
Link to death
Around the neck and squeezing out death

I beg for the day
I cry for my son

To look in his eyes
Or to know his cry
I offer my life
Just to understand why

God gave his son
But someone took mine
Was that you father
Please send me a sign

Grant me my answer and
I will serve thee divine
Christ died for our sins
Did Ramesh for mine

Damn this day and
Damn this light
Pray for a dream
Bring on the night

A dream of my child
And what should have been
A life with his family
Don’t let that dream end.
