Chalk Stars at Dusk

I trace chalk stars

Across the playground ground

While the sun slips low

And the lights flick on around

Every line I draw

Feels like a wish in the air

A little brave, a little lost

But I'm still standing there

Chalk stars and dust

I'm making my own sky

Even when the night comes

I can still shine bright

Drop stars at dusk

With a heart that's learning to trust

I leave my mark in the fading light

Drop stars at dusk

The swings are moving slow

Like they're keeping time

With the quiet little thoughts

That keep running through my mind

I hear my name in the wind

Soft and close tonight

So I draw one most high

And let it catch the light

Chalk stars at dusk

I'm making my own sky

Even when the night comes

I can still shine bright

Chalk stars at dusk

With a heart that's learning to trust

I leave my mark in the fading light

Chalk stars at dusk

If the world feels big, I'll start with what I know

One small line, one small spark, one place to grow

Chalk stars at dusk, I'm making my own sky

Even when the night comes, I can still shine bright

Chalk stars at dusk

With a heart that's learning to trust

I leave my mark in the hating light

Chalk stars at dusk
