The Bright Star

The Bright Star I see in the sky
Is hovering over my head.
And I wonder how long its been up there
As I sit here, quiet in bed.

How many people have seen it?
How many tired eyes like mine?
How many children have whispered the song
As they cry, as they laugh, as they whine?

Ive wished upon it many times,
(Wished upon the Star).
And all this time, my wish has been the same
Yet nothing has happened so far.

The Bright Star I see in the sky
Is twinkling and winking at me.
And I wish once again, hoping again
For my soul to finally be free.
