Old Lyrics, Part 1

t(Note: I picture this running to something like "A Fireball to You" by Omoi)

Supernova

Intro

How long has it been since those days

Where we used to lie side by side

Planning our oh-so-distant future

Swaddled ‘neath the night sky…

Me seeking what you’ve already got

And chasing what you’ve already caught

Lit by your smile

Reflecting the starry night display

I finally saw;

I want to someday light your way.

Refrain

I want to be a star

Radiant and true

Shining bright for only you

When the world

Is dark and cold,

Letting you know you’re not alone

Even when the night

Turns to day

I still want to light your way

Until the day

You reach your dream,

Shine bright, my own light beam!

Verse 1

Not some star on a stage

Shining like the sun so bright

Not like the moon, cold and distant,

Lonely reflecting others’ light

Rather, a sole light above

Not so close as to be in sight

But to shine when night is blackest

Your own personal spotlight

(Refrain)

Verse 2

And I know deep down, it’s already too late for me

With nothing to cling to, I drift in space’s dark sea

My light had already grown cold

But even so, I’m not alone;

So many other stars lie dead beside,

But their glow still lights the earth’s sky

Can I someday light someone’s way

With my own inconsequential ray?

Even now, a dead star’s own light guides a lost child home…

Pre-Outro

I want to be a star

Radiant and true

Shining bright for only you

When the world

Is dark and cold,

Letting you know you’re not alone

I’ve never

Dared to dream

But God, if you’ll let me have this one

Let me

Shine bright,

And I’ll outclass even the sun!

Outro

I want to be a star

And brilliantly

Illuminate you constantly

No matter

How far you roam

My light will always guide you home

Even if my spark

Fades away

I still want to light your way

Until the day

You reach your dream,

Shine bright, my own light beam!

Well, here it is, one of the old song lyrics prototypes I had lying in a notebook somewhere. I've never seen myself as the poetic/lyrical type, but I always wanted to have the skill to write my own character songs like Jin (Shizen no Teki-P), who's something of a hero of mine.

I'm definitely nowhere near that level yet, but someday after I've written a bunch, I want to try my hand at lyrics again. That's a small dream of mine.
