Life of a Star

When the sun goes down,
(Every single night)
I begin my job,
And shine my silver light.

I am never lonely,
Though the sky is wide,
I have a fellow star,
On each and every side.

I shine down on the traveler,
Who's walked a many mile,
And when he sees my light,
I see a silver smile.

And when a child wakes,
From their nasty night-mare,
They can always glance up,
And know that I am there.

And I love when you make wishes,
Upon my silver flame,
You know, your wishes are each different,
None of them's the same.

I can't really grant them,
For I'm waiting for the wish,
The one that sends me down to earth,
Like a silver fish.

But I send all my love,
And I'll bless you all,
And when I grant my wish,
You will see me fall.
