Little Star

You
Summers in your bedroom
Made yourself a kingdom
Imagining how you’d rule
And everyone you knew
Said she must be a genius
Look at how the brush it moves
Keep listening
Keep watching
Keep working
Not stopping
Little genius
Little star
You’re everything
They say you are
Is it lovely
In the dark
Or do you dim as you go on
You
Autumns by the schoolyard
Alpha of the Exxon
The girls all wanna be like you
In everything you do
She must be a leader
Look at how the crowd it moves
Keep listening
Keep watching
Keep working
Not stopping
Little genius
Little star
You’re everything
They say you are
Is it lovely
In the dark
Or do you dim as you go on
Go on go on
The days they go
Go on go on
The critics show
Go on go on
The crowd they know
Go on go on
No one waits for so so
Little genius
Little star
You’re everything
They say you are
Is it lovely
In the dark
Or do you dim as you go on
Winters in a basement
Trying not to face it
Wonder where your kingdom went
And when they look at you
Come on little genius
Do it like you used to do
Keep working
Keep watching
They’ll listen
No stopping
