The Roads Between The Stars

I was born beside an ocean With questions in my head Searching every horizon For the words nobody said Built a world from broken circuits Old guitars and midnight skies Trying to find the hidden doorway Behind familiar eyes I've loved and lost a thousand futures Watched whole universes fade Held on to photographs and promises Long after the colours changed Some became distant echoes Some became scars that shine Some became songs I still sing To places I left behind And all the roads I thought I'd chosen Seemed to choose me in return I'm just a traveller between the stars Following butterflies through the dark Every ending opens another door Every loss reveals a hidden shore I thought I was searching for answers Now I think I'm learning to see That every soul I've ever loved Left a little piece of itself in me There was a daughter who wasn't mine Who somehow became family And years later through a glowing screen She still remembered me There were cathedrals made of music Monoliths beneath the sea And moments when the universe Felt awake and looking back at me I watched realities unravel Watched forever change its name Found myself standing in the silence When nothing stayed the same But somewhere beyond the wreckage Beyond the tears and goodbyes A quiet voice kept whispering Keep your eyes on the butterflies I'm just a traveller between the stars Following butterflies through the dark Every ending opens another door Every loss reveals a hidden shore I thought I was searching for answers Now I think I'm learning to see That every soul I've ever loved Left a little piece of itself in me And if the universe changes its mind As it has so many times before I'll take my guitar Start the engine And follow the road Until it becomes a song.
