Count The Stars Lyrics

First I met a man

He tried to count the stars

He figured they were his

And he made it his whole business

Couldn't look away

For fear of losing count

And so he never learned

They were something he could do without

For all of the trying and fighting you can't make it so

There is no use in crying, there's some things we may never know

The next man that I met

Had a different kind of fear

By focusing on maps

He got stuck sitting there

And I'm not sure if he

Had ever left his chair

But he knew plenty of stories

Of other who had dared

For all of the trying and fighting you can't make it so

There is no use in crying, there's some things we may never know

To get what you're after, there's some things you'll have to let go

As for me, I will wait in the meantime for changes to show

Then I met a king

As kind as kind could be

But he reveled in his power

And reigned over the sea

It was my burden to bear

To deliver him the news

That his obedient ocean

Was faithful to the moon

For all of the trying and fighting you can't make it so

There is no use in crying, there's some things we may never know

To get what you're after, there's some things you'll have to let go

As for me, I will wait in the meantime for changes to show

As for me, I will wait in the meantime for changes to show
