Untitled #In the Stars

And the history books
Forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us
But they built us a statue
On a hill
Saying we were
the greatest
We had the will
To do what our hearts said
Screw the rest
Entwined in the story
The words eternal...

But the history books
Forgot about us
And the bible didn't
Mention us
And they tore down the statue on the hill
Saying we were too young
We'd never know until
We were just as old
And cynical as them.
They told us we were
Too wrapped up to
Know of love
Silly and foolish
But we are the sky,
Far above
When they tore down
Our statue, on the hill
Thinking we caused
the problems
they never will
They forgot that we're just
As part of them
As the part they wanted
To rip out and toss

The history books
Forgot about us
And the bible didn't
Mention us
Now all we've got
Is a sign on a hill
And maybe a few
Fairytales left in us still
But that's okay
And it's all alright
What matters most is that
For a moment
We shone like a light.

(Inspired by Regina Spektor's Samson and sang on a whim while vacuuming. I make no claims this is very good ... Whatever it is. Not even sure if it's a song or a poem. Ohwell.)
