There rose a star on the Eastern sky
It's heart filled with ambitions so high
It wanted to change the world
And do things never before heard

It knew it had to leave a mark
By bringing light in this world gone dark
It thought, there ain't a nobler deed
Than helping people in need

But soon it began to realise
That all it had done was to rise
While the world remained as dark as ever
The height taking it away from it's purpose forever

"Such an unworthy life I have led
That it's better to be dead
With this thought it plunged into the sea
And set its remorseful soul free

The same night a sailor was in the bay
And with the help of this star had found his lost way
Blessed are the ones he said
Who show way to people who have strayed
