"Counting the Stars"
Stephen Rodriguez
I’m counting the stars in the sky tonight,
Why not come count them with me?
We’ll lie at the top of the hill, what a sight!
The stars moving gently across the sky’s sea.
The wind blowing cool on our lives and the trees;
The leaves floating down are so light.
The grass of the Earth is the place to be.
I know for once all is alright.
But ask me of life and where I want to be.
I’ll tell you I don’t care at all.
As long as I’m living, I’m happily free;
And that’s why I’m counting the stars tonight.
And what if my stars were to suddenly fall?
I’d smile if I had no stars at all.
When I have more, I start holding too tight;
But why not relax and slow down tonight.
The stars are on fire, exploding with life;
From here they seem nice and at ease.
I’ll take our view over theirs, in spite
Of what they want us to believe.
The world moves too fast for one man to see,
And that’s quite alright with me;
But life needs a break; it’s not always a fight.
And that’s why I’m counting the stars tonight.
