Count my blessings same way I count the stars 
I look up and wonder how many there are 
Just like everything gets lost between the lines 
You read the book and put it down 
Before it smacks you right between the eyes 

(Chorus:)
In spite of it all, what can I even say? 
There's nothing I can do for you yesterday 
Damn it all, everybody says 
There's nothing we can do for you yesterday 

When you burn bright you burn fast as a shooting star 
Gone from sight, the one everybody's glad they aren't 
Expectations ain't good for much at all 
They'll get you up there 
But they don't catch you when you fall 

(Chorus)

Burn so bright
You burn so bright
Shoot it up so high 
Burned so bright
You burned so bright in spite of it all 

(Chorus)
