A New Star Is Born

I believe when someone passes away Either a star is born, energy so pure That it creates new worlds Or as the soul releases Shatters into pieces Becoming free flowing thoughts For my mental thesis Maybe we just don't understand The spirits that still walk the land Or whatever the case I believe that we all still remain To share the same space So dad, I know you're listenin' How you been?
