Gaze At Orion

Gaze at Orion

This is a much more bare-bones song. I really want to hear comments and suggestions. What could I add to make it more interesting musically? How do the lyrics feel? They're quasi-political, quasi-personal, sort of contemplating how easy it is to be led around. The ending (and the title) don't have much to do with the rest of the song, I'm definitely open to changing them.

oh,
a simple song to commemorate
a simple time not long ago

a time that i remember well
and wish it could return

<something about forgetting the lyrics??>

but i could not be the one
to take the leading role

this i know, this you know
and i trust you to understand me

take my trembling vision
and make a final decision
and please, sir, don't let me waver
i know that i could not be trusted

i know, i am to follow, follow
yes, i'm blessed, i am wise, i follow, follow

you are all that i hide in myself
you are my reflection, did you know?

i don't see clear, so you're here 
did you know that you're my man of straw

you are smiling and kindly and funny too
you are everything i wish i was

now you know, and i know
and i beg you to

take my trembling vision
and fake a final decision
and please, sir, don't let me waver
i know that i could not be trusted

i know, i am to follow, follow
yes, i'm blessed, i am wise, i follow, follow

just follow my lead
gaze at orion

leave me behind
leave me behind
