Analysis of Fallen Ones are Stars
Walk with me little one and you will see,
Where the fallen ones go to sleep...
Listen close and you will hear!
The wings of an angel flapping away,
Taking the fallens to their final resting place...
Through the mist that blankets the graves!
"Are they going to be okay..?"
Don't cry little one it's alright,
The angels are taking them to the sky,
Where they are turn into beautiful stars that light up the night,
Have you see a falling star at any point in your life?
Have you wish upon it with all your might?
Maybe one day you will be a shining star at night..?
