You saw a shooting star in flight
It went high then took a dive
It burned hard and it burned bright
Then burned out and out of sight

It came from the mountain line
So you stock up and start to climb
The whole way up is a taxing grind
But you know it's no waste of time

You grew up and you grew bright
Your courage was higher than a kite
You made it up and survived the climb
You thought your faith could never die

One second you were on cloud nine
Took a leap and thought you'd fly
Reach a hand and touch the sky
You were anything but right

You never knew you'd climbed so high
Until you were falling through the night
Little did you know that out of sight
You're just a shooting star in someone's eyes.
