Here are the lyrics:
Stars by Jayson Haws
Hello, o, are you in there
I’m as dark as the night
Let go, let go, find your freedom
Take a taste and chase the high
Colorful comes and color goes
Like throwing a stone through a stained glass window
We all disappear before we know
So look at the stars
We’re beautifully blind
People are speaking in lullaby
With a shift of your glance
Your flowers have dried
We are just moments here
We’re moments passing by
Jump off, jump off, this is living
You know I’m terrified of heights
The loss is the cost of your giving
You find your way a day at a time
Colorful comes and color goes
Like throwing a stone through a stained glass window
We all disappear before we know
So look at the stars
We’re beautifully blind
People are speaking in lullaby
With a shift of your glance
Your flowers have dried
We are just moments here
We’re moments here
Spinning ’round and ’round we go
We all fall down, we all should know
We circle for a moment around what is life
So look at the stars
We’re beautifully blind
People are speaking in lullaby
With a shift of your glance
Your flowers have dried
We are just moments passing by
Passing by
We are just moments here
So look at the stars baby
Look at the stars all night
All night….
