Take the sky for example   A canvas for a billion suns   But our local hero shines them out by day   Save for the winking of a Venus or Mars   Even the stars sometimes fade to gray   Sometimes the stars hide away      I see the bare moon raise its big bald head   I see my friends play the fool   I'll make my own way in the wide world   Just know I don't want to wander too far   Even the stars sometimes fade to gray   Sometimes the stars hide away      Some will call me all kinds of names   Some will say I don't play the right kind of game   I try to be honest   Try to be kind   I'll honestly leave when i know that it's time   I know that it's time      Hear old Phoebe sing his only song   This summer day is hovering   I'll ride my full heart   Troubles fly like embers   Out the window of our traveling car   Even the stars sometimes fade to gray   Sometimes the stars hide away
