Star Roots
Imagine that the stars have roots
just below the surface
Imagine that their shallowness
is not their talent's purpose
Imagine that they come to you
for all they turn to solve
Imagine that enough of them
would serve you to revolve
Imagine that they live for you
and that's not where you'd mind
Imagine that where there is life
They'll take the time to find
Imagine that they're everywhere
and you should seek their talent
Imagine that they draw the line
when you would end their valiant
Imagine that you never cared
where they would come to visit
Imagine that their everywhere
that you would give for licit
