Stars shoot across the Hollywood sky Breaking into pieces before our very eyes Suits building castles all for themselves Hypnotized by the shine of power and wealth They think their names are carved in stone When they're written in the sand In the end When the day is done Only love can cast a shadow on the sun When the fireworks fade And the colors run Only love can leave a shadow on the sun Fools clutching at the mist of their youth In a losing battle with vanity's pursuit Flash, the headlines scream a new name Another scandal and fifteen minutes fame They make their mark in neon lights And soon the power goes out Repeat Chorus There is blazing beauty in the smallest sacrifice And a simple word of kindness is true light Repeat Chorus
