The Stars Tonight

I never pray but I might start today
I’ll say a prayer for you, I’ll say one for me too
I pray that all your dreams will soon come true
And all the love you lost will come back to you

Chorus
And all our troubles slowly fade away
On my knees I pray

Stars look nice tonight, wish I may wish I might
Be there for someone before my day is done
And I wish you well, I wish you all the best
May you find true love and happiness

Chorus 

In the morning light I can see so clear
Choices that I make or forsake will lead me here
I can change it all today

If the sky is dark, I hope you find your way
I’ll keep a fire burning until you’re home and safe

Chorus

the stars tonight

Basic song about what some people are like today

4- Some People

The howling winds, the fading grass
The leaves that tumble as they pass
And you and I may not last this autumn

The things we do, I don't know why
We build it up, we reach so high
Then tear it down, watch it slide
I don't know why

The rolling hills, the peaceful plains
They lie beyond our crooked games
Why do we twist, why do we try to take it all?
I don't know why

The deepest sea, the farthest shore
It's not enough, we still want more

The things we do, I don't know why
Why do we bend, why do we pry?
Destroy it all, pull down the sky?
I don't know why
