The stars that wouldn't shine, they don't go away
Just 'cause you don't see them shinin' here today
The stars that wouldn't shine just haven't been seen here
And they may not arrive for a million years
The stars that wouldn't shine have been left for dead
Because they take their time you haven't seen them yet
They may not arrive for a million days
It don't mean they don't try to make it through the haze
The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine
They cross the darkened skies like a ghostly ship
And because they deny your eyes you like to say they don't exist
They may not reach these shores until we're all long dead
But like the lights you're seein' now, they too are light years ahead
The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine, they don't mean you no harm
They mean to help you, keep you safe and warm
And if their loving fingers haven't found you yet
I will remind you, lest you forget
The stars that wouldn't shine(x10)
