Like a star, booming in the sky
Nae spirit child could e’er say wi’ such Buddha brevity,
Daddy, I can’t believe I’m real
Like a star, booming in the sky, I watched him fly
An exclamation of joy
Me oh my!
Ne’er pure child o’ creation could bett’r say
Wi’ such nihilistic fantasy
Watch me fly
Like a butterfly fluttering by, I watched him fly
Me oh my!
Nae wan child could e’er say
Wi’ such sweet an’ soulful simplicity
Daddy, I can’t believe I’m real
I’m like a star, booming in the sky
Me oh my!
But what is real?
Don’t even try
For truth is only in the eye
Of the Watch me fly beholder
Me oh my!
