Simple Minds

I’m the one who broke apart
I’m the one that’s free
I’m the one who fell apart
Yes I’m the one, that’s me
I’m the one who fell away
The one who didn’t care
But there is a long trail
Stretching now from here to there

Stars will lead the way
Stars will light the sky
Stars will fall through for you and I
From the darkest days to the darkest side
There is a long trail stretching here to you and I

I’m the one who lost the sense
The one who couldn’t see
I’m the one who lost the chance
Within this odyssey
I’m the one who failed to feel
The blackout of the sun
There’s an old tale telling me that it’s just begun

Stars will lead the way
Stars will light the sky
Stars will fall here, now for you and I
From the darkest days to the darkest side
There is a long trail stretching here to you and I

Stars will lead the way
Stars will light the sky

And I’m wandering in a trance, taken over me
Wandering in a world but I can't see
Wandering in trance, taken over me
Taken over me
Taken over me

I’m the one who broke apart
I’m the one that’s free
I’m the one who broke apart
The one that couldn’t see

Stars will lead the way
Stars will light the sky
Stars will fall here for you and I
From the darkest days to the darkest side
Stars will fall, fall, fall, fall for you and I

Stars will lead the way
Stars will light the skies
Stars will fall, fall, fall, fall for you and I

Stars will lead the way
Stars will light the skies
