When the bombs came down, I cupped my ears in submission When the air ran out, I felt my dreams go with it I don't feel the fire but this grown woman's a little girl again I can thank the day the bombs came down, came down But then I looked up! The world was calm, and the cosmos bled through the sky Looked down at me, sweet serenity! It's time to say goodbye The stars, the stars that stopped the world The stars, the stars that stopped the world The stars, the stars that stopped the world The stars, the stars that stopped the world When the war turned red, I lost faith in humanity When the roof collapsed, I watched my father cry for me I didn't ask for the fire but the hair still singed off my back so fast I can thank the day the war turned red, turned red But then I looked up! The world was calm, and the cosmos bled through the sky Looked down at me, sweet serenity! It's time to say goodbye The stars, the stars that stopped the world The stars, the stars that stopped the world The stars, the stars that stopped the world The stars, the stars that stopped the world I didn't make it but don't be me I didn't make it but I hope you see I didn't make it but don't be me I hope you will see I didn't make it but don't be me I didn't make it but I hope you see I didn't make it but don't be me I hope you see The stars, the stars that stopped the world The stars, the stars that stopped the world The stars, the stars that stopped the world The stars, the stars that stopped the world
