Follow the Stars

[Aurora]
Here on this planet
The third from the sun
I don't really fit in
Or relate to anyone

But when I look up and the stars start to shine
I have to believe in all of that sky
There is life on a planet that will bring life to mine

Life in a prep school is basically hell
Where you shrink and you die
And then get saved by the bell

I keep my head down in astronomy text
I read and I read so I am prepared
And am ready and waiting
For what science finds next

That's why I follow the stars
To find what might be living behind their shining light
That's why I follow the stars
I peek inside a telescope and I'm a satellite
When I look up all I can see is endless possibilities
So I follow, follow, follow the stars

I'll find a planet
Just light-years away
Where I'm surrounded by friends
And have cool things to say

I won't feel so scattered and lost in my thoughts
Down here on Earth I stand worlds apart
But when I'm stargazing, I'm connecting the dots

That's why I follow the stars
To search for what is out there and not feel so alone
That's why I follow the stars
In all those constellations, can I call one my own?
I'll live the life I wish I had
With Neil Degrasse Tyson as my dad
I'll follow, follow, follow, follow

The stars
There's a hundred thousand million
In our galaxy alone
That's why I follow the stars

Plus a million other galaxies
And a million still unknown
Chances are in that great abyss
There's a planet that fits me better than this
So I follow, follow, follow the stars
