Recollections of a Shining Youth

When we were young 

We vowed that we’d shine

As brightly as the sun

We’d stand and defy

In fact we’d outshine

Every star in the sky


When the stars saw us try

So jealous were they

Of their place in the sky

They told us up here

By night or by day

We don’t belong in their sphere


Ah but the Sun by his grace

Froze Time’s mad race

Stood still in his place

Whatever we were meant to be

Just for one moment we could see

That we shone for all eternity


And now we’ve grown old

We look back and we know

If we weren’t really gold

If we popped or we flopped

We stepped out of the show

For us just once time stopped

We glowed and we shone and time stopped
