Lyric

A Prayer Beneath the Stars

Justin Otani

From the day I made that vow

I was trapped inside a darkness with no end

Beneath the stars, I simply prayed

Begging for someone to protect her voice

Chosen as a sacrifice

On the day fate called her name

My sister was taken away

For her light, I gave up all I had—

And stepped into the unknown

I searched for the reason we were born

In the dream where you smiled at me

Just calling me “Big Brother”

Was all I ever needed

They claimed to hear the voice of god

But no one truly ever did

Beyond the glowing halls of white

The truest night was hiding still

Behind the world we thought we knew

Lurked shadows wrapped in holy cloth

Those who turned their eyes away

Were singing songs of justice loud

“You’re not alone,” you told me once—

I’m still holding your hand from that day

No matter how deep the night may be

If you can hear me, then carry my voice

Oh stars, carve out the answer—

My sister’s wish must not be lost

All I want is to protect her

Even if I turn the world against me

Even if I’m never forgiven

Even if I must pay with my own life

Inside the sacred words she gave

Were footprints made of silent tears

Even if it meant she’d be hurt

Her wish held up the very world

The final prayer she ever sang

Was kinder than the voice of god

For a moment of warmth

She silenced a million songs

There are things that can’t be brought back-

But this is not the end

Even if I’m left alone

I’ll reach my hand through this night

She smiled without a single word

And her last words pierced through my soul:

“If you say you’ll save the world

Then please, save my wish as well.”

Even lost, I keep walking on

I told a lie for the sake of love

If “to save” means “to destroy,”

And sorrow is the price we pay -

Then let the gods bear witness now

This is the choice I make alone

The light of prayer that faded away

Its warmth still ties the world together

Even if we can’t be side by side

Your voice from that day still guides my way

Oh sister

For you alone

I said goodbye to the world

And now it begins -

From a single wish, everything will change

Even if no one ever knows

That your prayer once lived right here

I will go on singing it forever
