I want to go out like the stars do
Each and every night
For though not always visible
One is conscious of their light
I want to go out like the stars do
Lovely and beyond reach
While glamorous from a distance
You would burn if the distance you could breach
I want to go out like the stars do
Sparkling more than most could conceive
For though to many I am visible
So few yet believe
I want to go out like the stars do
Glittering in mystery
Whether a shooting star or airplane
The answer is left in history
I want to go out like the stars do
With wisdom beyond their years
As they watch the world with heavy eyes
Dripping out their tears
I want to go out like the stars do
A map to light the way
To point the direction onward
When with words there is nothing to say
I want to go out like the stars do
Shining bright for all to see
For while I may be beautiful
It is but Christ who lives in me
I want to go out like the stars do
For even when my life is quelled
My radiant beams that pierce the night
Will still be long beheld
I want to go out like the stars do
With a dramatic flare
For even when my light is gone
My debris will still be there
