In the night sky,
filled with clouds.
One lone star shines through,
a glimmer of hope.
In an evening of darkness,
this simple star,
fills my heart with emotion,
and forces me to grin.
I longingly stare,
at this twinkle of perfection.
My eyes readjusting,
to keep its beauty in focus.
And I wish, "Oh starlight, star bright,
the only star I see tonight."
I closed my eyes,
and let my heart speak for me.
"Bring me my unreachable dream,
give me a ladder to my highest peak!
Make my impossibles possible,
and fill my empty heart."
I lifted my eyes, a tear fell slow but sure,
as I stared at my only hope.
"I wish I may, I wish I might,
to have this wish, I wish tonight."
