A falling star
It burns itself out while everyone cheers
And makes a wish
To last a thousand years
We bow our heads
And beg our God grant all our needs
And every day
Ooh, we ask for more

Ashes to ashes
You are my destiny
Dust to dust
Just let it be
Ashes to ashes
You are the best of me
Dust to dust

You play the wheel
You lose on black
So you switch to the red
Your horse looks good
But he breaks down the stretch
We chase the dreams
Our daddies did
They passed them by
Oh, yet we try

Ashes to ashes
You are my destiny
Dust to dust
Just let it be
Ashes to ashes
Oh, you are the best of me
Dust to dust

We put our lives
Into the hands of so many who failed
They do their best
Oh, but it ain't good enough
Just add it up
Now is the time
This life is yours, girl
Your life is mine

Ashes to ashes
Oh, your life is mine
Dust to dust
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ashes to ashes
Girl, you are the best of me
Dust to dust

Ashes to ashes
You are my destiny
Dust to dust
Just let it be
Ashes to ashes
You are the best of me
Dust to dust
Now and tomorrow
