This song is about not worrying about the things that haven't happened. It was inspired by my brother and sister and my nephew and neice. They showed me the things that really count in life. You can hear baby Ella at the end of the song.

Naked child, wipe that tear from your eye
Or you'll be crying for many times to come
And do not be afraid
I give you all my praise
Like others gave me before

I wonder why the skies are grey
And why my children will not play
Why worry when its not happened?

Watching, over me like a long lost friend
Her own story to tell and I fit the script so well
Waiting, for me to rid my mind of all those troubled times
I've my own story now, and you're the star in my own eyes

Sweet sister of mine, I give you good advice
So dont throw it away now, hey now
I give you all my faith
Learn to appriciate
We all learn what we live

I wonder why the skies are grey
And why my children will not play
Why worry when its not happened?

Watching, over me you're my long lost friend
Her own story to tell and I fit the script so well
Waiting, for me to rid my mind of all those troubled times
I've my own story now, and you're the star in my own eyes

I wonder why the stars dont shine
and why my water tastes like wine
a little something to help ease my mind

Big brother of mine, its been a long, long time
but I've learned lots along the way now, hey now
My story's not quite yours
Somehow it all still works
Just take a little time to hear

I wonder why the skies are grey
And why my children will not play
Why worry when its not happened?

Watching, over me you're my long lost friend
Her own story to tell and I fit the script so well
Waiting, for me to rid my mind of all those troubled times
I've my own story now, and you're the star in my own eyes

the star in my own eyes
the star in my own eyes
