A Billion Stars All Around

As I lie awake and look up at the sky
Wondering if the Heaven's will come crashing down on me
A ragged man who drifts from town to town
Wondering if life echoes in euphonious harmony
I see a billion stars all around
If I died here alone tonight
Would I've been just a pebble in the World's
plans
Looking back I see images of a solitary clown
Waiting to spend eternity in the palm of
God's hands
I imagine a billion stars all around
A fool like me has only dreams of sorrow
For tomorrow is just another arduous day
The wind carries away these lonesome sounds
When I look in the mirror there is nothing left to say
I try to count the billion stars all around
Tried vigorously to be righteous to my fellow
man
Still life continues to punish me
If I ever look back all I can do is frown
The future is running away running free
I no longer see a billion stars all around

What a title! I can actually picture myself in this story. It felt like I was actually there.
Love,
