Sing To Me of Heroes

Sing To Me of Heroes

The sun shines brightly through the blinds,

and there isn’t a cloud in the sky.

Cold news splashed in black and white

and all I can do is cry.

The crescent moon is dim tonight

and the stars look different today.

The world is spinning far too fast,

and I cannot find my way.

So sing to me of heroes,

diamond dogs and unseen scars…

Watch me as I close my eyes

and float amongst the stars…

We’re all living on borrowed time

and we’re clinging to our youth

while the end is drawing closer…

No whitewashing the truth.

They’re all waiting there with open arms,

Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

Freddie Mercury takes your hand and says

it’s time for you to sing…

So sing to me of heroes,

diamond dogs and unseen scars…

Watch me as I close my eyes

and float amongst the stars…

After having no words all day long, these words came to me tonight…straight from my heart.   Most of you who know me well know that David Bowie was one of my favorite artists of all time.  His work will live on in our hearts forever. RIP Ziggy Stardust…
