Starlight
Slash feat. Myles Kennedy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Light years from tomorrow
Far beyond yesterday
She is watching
Heart aching with sorrow
She is broken, as she waits
Hoping when all is said and done
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
We're gonna make it right before tomorrow
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
We're gonna find a place where we belong
(Where we belong)
And so you know, you'll never shine alone
There are shadows sleeping on the horizon
Leave us scared and so afraid
As the fallout of a world divided
It brings her tears and so much pain
And so we take cover from the dark
Hoping to find where we can start
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
We're gonna make it right before tomorrow
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
We're gonna find a place where we belong
(Where we belong)
And so you know, you'll never shine alone
Starlight, we'll find a place
Where we belong, we belong
You will see as the mountains fall and turn to dust
That there's one thing that won't change
I believe there is something within each of us
That always stays
That will always remain
As long as love never fades
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
We're gonna make it right before tomorrow
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
We're gonna find a place where we belong
And so you know, you'll never shine alone
Starlight we'll find a place
Where we belong, we belong
She is watching
Heart aching with sorrow
She is broken, as she waits

Far away from here
Light years from tomorrow
So far away that it's like it's in the future
Far beyond yesterday
Even farther away than yesterday
She is watching
There's someone watching
Heart aching with sorrow
Their heart is hurting with sadness
She is broken, as she waits
She's very sad and waiting for something that may never come
Hoping when all is said and done
Having hope that things will turn out good in the end
We learn to love and be as one
We'll learn how to love and get along with each other
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
Don't be sad, Starlight
We're gonna make it right before tomorrow
We're going to fix things before it's too late

(Where we belong)
In a place that is meant for us
And so you know, you'll never shine alone
You'll always have someone to shine with you
There are shadows sleeping on the horizon
There are problems that are just waiting to happen
Leave us scared and so afraid
They make us scared and worried
As the fallout of a world divided
The negative consequences of a world that is not united
It brings her tears and so much pain
It makes her cry and causes her a lot of pain
And so we take cover from the dark
We try to protect ourselves from the bad things
Hoping to find where we can start
Looking for a place to begin
Starlight, we'll find a place
We'll find a place, Starlight
Where we belong, we belong
Where we're meant to be
You will see as the mountains fall and turn to dust
Even the biggest things can eventually disappear
That there's one thing that won't change
But there's one thing that will always stay the same
I believe there is something within each of us
I think that there's something important in all of us
That always stays
That will always be there
That will always remain
That will always be there no matter what
As long as love never fades
As long as we never stop loving each other
Starlight we'll find a place
We'll find a place, Starlight
Where we belong, we belong
Where we're meant to be
She is watching
There's someone watching
Heart aching with sorrow
Their heart is hurting with sadness
She is broken, as she waits
She's very sad and waiting for something that may never come
