Oh, beautiful Star
Must I only watch you from afar?
Oh, glorious Star
How long must I reach for you
Before you take my hand?
Please take my hand.
Through terror and pain we've walked
Cut swaths of blood through the dark
Daggers and teeth, glint in the firelight
We beat back the shadows, thwarted their curse
Oh, beautiful Star
Beside me you walk, but is it really where you are?
Oh, glorious Star
Don't you know that I see you?
Your beauty's not all that you are.
I see so much more.
I know that it's hard to live honestly
When you've lied for so long
I see all the hurt you try to hide
I've always seen it in your eyes
You thought you took me for a ride
But my eyes were open the whole time
Oh, beautiful Star
Once freedom awaits, and we've conquered our foes,
Oh, glorious Star
Will you walk away once you've reached your goals?
Or will you want more?
The road ahead is long, but it won't last forever,
even if you do.
You stepped to the precipice, and I pulled you back.
Will you ever forgive me for not letting you go?
My beautiful Star
When I look at you I see all my tomorrows
My glorious Star
If we make it through all these sorrows
I will stand with you
My beautiful Star
You're so much stronger than you think
My glorious Star
Don't you know that I love you?
I love you for all that you are.
I love you, I love you, my Star.
