They say there's a man who walked the night
Caught him creepin' with a bag full of light
No cape no mask just eyes that gleam
A slick talkin' mystery livin' the dream
Told the moon "Sit down take a seat"
He pulled the stars from under your feet
A thief of the sky but he don't leave clues
Just a trail of darkness in his shadowed shoes
They said he held the key to the sky
Lockin' the light while the world asks why
I saw him once with a glance so sly
Like he's takin' the night for a ride goodbye
He stole the stars tucked 'em away
While the world slept he made his play
He knew the night like a blueprint plan
But no one could catch him no one could stand
Why'd he steal that light from above
I asked him once but he just shrugged "It's love"
Kids would chase him down the street
But he vanished quicker than a drumline beat
They'd point to the sky but it stayed pitch black
Try to track him but they always lost track
Me? I saw him up close that's real
He carried the stars like a five-card deal
Slipped 'em in his pocket didn't make a sound
Told me "Keep quiet don't let 'em down"
He's smooth like the wind slick like the tide
Nobody knows where the truth might hide
Late in the night with a snap and a glance
He's flippin' the sky like a high-stakes dance
He stole the stars tucked 'em away
While the world slept he made his play
He knew the night like a blueprint plan
But no one could catch him no one could stand
Why'd he steal that light from above
I asked him once but he just shrugged "It's love"
One night I said "Yo what's the deal?
Why you swipin' stars like a three-course meal?"
He laughed real low eyes like fire
Said "I'm just savin' 'em for when times get dire"
The world gets dark and people get lost
But I keep the light no matter the cost
I ain't stealin' nothin' just takin' it slow
Holdin' onto hope 'til it's ready to glow
He opened his hands and the stars fell down
Like diamonds splashin' all over the ground
I finally got it the man had a plan
He wasn't a thief just a guard on hand
The stars weren't gone they were savin' their shine
Waitin' for the right moment waitin' in line
He didn't steal 'em didn't take 'em away
He was holdin' 'em tight for a brand new day
He stole the stars tucked 'em away
While the world slept he made his play
He knew the night like a blueprint plan
But no one could catch him no one could stand
Why'd he steal that light from above
I asked him once but he just shrugged "It's love"
Now he's gone but the stars remain
A man with a plan hidin' the pain
And though they're back shining in line
I'll always remember who saved their shine
