When I look in your faces every day,
I can see you’re sad and lonely
Your eyes show pain beyond your years
Filled with lost hope and unshed tears
You live in the shadows of a world that is drowning
Falling apart piece by piece
There is grief in the past and no hope for tomorrow
Only suffering, only sorrow
Chorus:
Every child is a brilliant star
Whose light can illumine your heart
But so many children are stars slowly falling
Their resplendence diminishes, darkness takes over
And the only proof of this loss in the skies
Is the loss of light in their eyes.
The bruises fade but the pain never leaves
So young to lose faith in the world
I see the innocence drain from your eyes
You fake a smile but I see through your disguise.
Chorus
The dawn is coming and the world will be bright
The spark of truth is about to ignite
Have faith and hold on to the beauty within
Don’t let the present darkness win
Oh Giver protect these children
Help them to bear and endure
Guide and protect them in this harsh world
And teach them to shine their light so pure.
Chorus:
Every child is a brilliant star
Whose light can illumine your heart
Protect their innocence and keep them from falling
Guide them to shine, radiance overflowing
Let’s raise them to glow and light up the skies
And to fill the world with the light from their eyes.
