lyrics

The king sat nestled in his chair
The queen sat, brushing her hair
The killer burst into the door with a knife

"Reach for the stars all you people
I’d rather shine than fade away
See, all takes to be happy
Is more than jewels on your head"

The queen’s hands shot into the air
The king just leaned back in his chair
He took his crown off and gave it to his wife

"Look to the stars, troubled killer
There is no king who rules in space
See, I’m not here to make you happy
And only you own your fate"

The killer dropped his knife and walked out
The king got up out of his throne
He stopped the killer in the doorway

"Look in my eyes, sorry sinner
Your are far better than this
My throne is inside this castle
But yours is inside your chest"

Reach for the stars all you people
I’d rather shine than fade away
See, all takes to be happy
Is more than jewels on your head
