about

This was written about my cousin when she passed away from a brain tumour at the age of 15.

lyrics

When I was younger
I never knew how far behind I was
I tried not to worry, they nurtured me every day

And I was carefree, swinging
My heart never stopped beating
There was always hope in what I said

But came a day, I met you
Though you were far behind in memory
And all the lights had lit upon you like a field of stars
And you were the only one who stood out within
You held your head up high and fought your back
And when you smiled, they dipped their hats
All I thought of this was another star in the world

When I grew up
I thought I knew you less and less
You tried not to worry, you carefully took each day

But you were going, slowly leaving
Your heart was slowly beating
Was there hope in what you believed?

But came a day, I met you
Though you were far behind in memory
And all the lights had lit upon you like a field of stars
And you were the only one who stood out within
You held your head up high and fought your back
And when you smiled, they dipped their hats
All I thought of this was another star in the world

And we were there underneath the stars
You said that wouldn't take you away and you would always stay

But came a day, I met you
Though you were far behind in memory
And all the lights had lit upon you like a field of stars
And you were the only one who stood out within
You held your head up high and fought your back
I didn’t know it would come to that
But you will always be
You’ll always be a star in every world
