Proverbs 17:17a A friend loves at all times
1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful


Here I sit
Here I watch
Naming stars as they go by

 

That one’s blue
That one’s red
And they listen to me cry

 

Let me know
Let me show
That I can rise once more

 

They don’t care
They don’t share
In the part of me that tore

 

So here I sit
So here I watch
Waiting for the desperate plea

 

Cause I know
Cause they know
That I’ll wait eternally

 

So I wait
So I cry
Sitting here and listening

 

To my song
To my hope
While the stars are glistening

 

Why, oh why can’t I just be
Oh why can’t I just see
Despite how hard I try
All I can do is cry

 

Never again shall I be free
Don’t use pity, run ‘way from me

 

Here I sat
Here I watched
Named the stars as they went by

 

One was blue
One was red
And they listened to me cry

 

And they knowed
And they showed
That I’ll never rise once more

 

Didn’t care
Didn’t share
And more of my heart tore

 

So there I sat
So there I watched
Waited for the desperate plea

 

Cause I knew
Cause they knew
That I waited eternally

 

So I waited
So I cried
Sat there to yet listen

 

To my song
To my hope
But they refused to glisten

 

Why, oh why can’t I just be
Oh why can’t I just see
Despite how hard I try
All I can do is cry

 

Never again shall I be free
Don’t use pity, run ‘way from me

 

Here I stay
Here I die
‘Membering stars when they went by

 

Now they’re dark
As is my hope
No one listens to me cry

 

I don’t know
How to show
How weak I am without you

 

You didn’t care
I don’t share
In the joy with which you slew

 

So here I lie
So here I fade
As I repeat the desperate plea

 

But I know
But you know
That nev’r ‘gain shall I see

 

So I groan
So I moan
Dying here not listening

 

To your song
To your hope
While the traitor’s glistening

 

Why, oh why couldn’t I be
Oh why couldn’t I see
Despite how hard I tried
All I did was cried

 

Now I can see too clearly
The problem was you, and was not me

 

Here I sit
Here I watch
Naming stars as they go by

 

That one’s yellow
That one’s white
And I listen to them cry

 

Let them know
Let them show
That they can rise once more

 

I do care
I do share
In the part of them that tore

 

So here I sit
So here I watch
Answering the desperate plea

 

Cause I know
Cause they know
That I’ll help eternally

 

So I don’t wait
So I don’t cry
Sitting here and listening

 

To their song
To their hope
While my love is glistening

 

Now, oh now I, yes!,  can be
Oh now I can truly see
Freedom me did try
But no longer will I cry

 

Forever and ever am I free
I use pity, so run to me

 

Here I sit
Here I watch
Naming you as you go by

 

You are yellow
You are white
And I listen to you cry

 

Let you know
Let you show
That you can rise once more

 

I do care
I do share
In the part of you that tore

 

So here I sit
So here I watch
Listening to your desperate plea

 

Cause I know
Cause you know
That I’ll help eternally

 

So I don’t wait
So I don’t cry
Sitting here and listening

 

To your song
To your hope
While your tears are glistening

 

Now, oh now I, yes!,  can be
Oh now I can truly see
Freedom me did try
But no longer will I cry

 

Forever and ever am I free
I use pity, so run to me

 

Here you stay
Here you die
‘Membering me when I went by

 

Now I’m dark
As is your hope
Yet I listen to you cry

 

You don’t know
How to show
How weak without me are you

 

You didn’t care
I don’t share
In the joy with which you slew

 

So here you lie
So here you fade
As you repeat the desperate plea

 

But I know
But you know
That nev’r ‘gain shall you see

 

So you groan
So you moan
Dying here but listening

 

To my song
To your hope
While my love is glistening

 

Now, oh now I, yes!,  we be
Oh now we truly see
Freedom us did try
But no longer will we cry

 

Forever and ever are we free
I use pity, so run to me
