We were ruled by Gods and stars,
You and I,
What chance did we have?
I heard a man born with one song in his heart,
Lighten the woes of a million other lonely souls,
And I saw a woman with one story, tell it again,
And again, and again,
And we were all the better for that.
We never stood a chance,
You and I,
But still we tried our very best,
And looking into each others' eyes,
We saw a kind of hope.
We were ruled by Gods and stars,
You and I,
And despite all of that,
We lived,
And we loved,
And we were here.
