about
I wrote this song in memory of one very awesome girl, Esther Earl. Esther was a nerdfighter and an inspiration to thousands of people all over the world with her passion for life and her love for people. When she passed, I wrote this song to honor her.
Esther's light is still shining brighter than ever. If you download the song, I hope you will consider contributing to the "This Star Won't Go Out" Foundation: tswgo.org/index.html

lyrics
We prayed for a miracle
For something beautiful
We prayed for time
And now, I'm find it hard
Not to blame my own God
For taking your life
But you're a supernova
A supernova
Lighting up the sky
Your life may be over
But you're a supernova
Shine baby shine
I never met you
But you know I'll never forget you
You touched my heart
In life, for better or worse
You tried to be a light in the universe
A guiding star
Our star
Now you're a supernova
A supernova
Lighting up the sky
This life may be over
But you're a supernova
Shine baby shine
It'd be so easy to cry
To turn my back on the world
and think that hope is a lie
But you showed us love can never die
And even in death, you're brightening our lives
Because you're a supernova
A supernova
Lighting up the sky
This life may be over
But you're a supernova
Now's your time to shine
For something beautiful
We prayed for time
And now, I'm find it hard
Not to blame my own God
For taking your life
But you're a supernova
A supernova
Lighting up the sky
Your life may be over
But you're a supernova
Shine baby shine
I never met you
But you know I'll never forget you
You touched my heart
In life, for better or worse
You tried to be a light in the universe
A guiding star
Our star
Now you're a supernova
A supernova
Lighting up the sky
This life may be over
But you're a supernova
Shine baby shine
It'd be so easy to cry
To turn my back on the world
and think that hope is a lie
But you showed us love can never die
And even in death, you're brightening our lives
Because you're a supernova
A supernova
Lighting up the sky
This life may be over
But you're a supernova
Now's your time to shine
