{Providence} Born In Fire

How can the sun be so high in the sky
While i'm down here dull, barely alive
Why does it get to shine so brightly
When I try my hardest and all my efforts spite me
How can I be like this ray, born from the stars
And make way for life, fools search Mars
No rainbow or aurora would compare to me
I would make certain everyone was aware of me
But I can't make present the shades or colors  
And its in darkness that my glory fades & suffers
So I hide til the sunshine is overhead
Like i will hide until the day I am dead
Cause I know that I'm no star
But fuck physics, why can't I radiate as far

Lol, I see you came up with that 'u' after all! ;) Really, I like this one. I've revisited it more than once and I find that the ending is powerful, pulls the whole thing together and makes me smile. Well done.
