American Pie - Following A Star [Duke Daniels] lyrics

As you walk up those steps

And garner your award

Try not to forget about me

'Cause I was there when you had no one else to hold

You used to look just like a saint

Stumblin' toward

Yours and God's very own quarantine

You used to never think you'd ever grow old

Chorus

How the hell you ever made it this far

Is a testament of who you are

Who you'll be

Followin' a star

I remember once when you had gotten down

Lower than the floor

But you found how not to run away

It was a lesson that I thought you'd never learn

Now all the folks you knew would come around

Have opened up the door

And now they know you're here to stay

That light shines bright it feels like it might burn
