A wish is a thing that you whisper and sing To the stars when your spirit is aching Be true with your words Because wishes are heard And the stars don't take kindly to fakers Show your devotion and will set in motion The wheels of fullfillment tomorrow Yes, a wish is a thing That you whisper and sing To the stars To the stars To the stars There was once a boy And his favorite toy was a radio Down in a basement It crack on a knob and the music would come It set there for hours in amazement Tubes they were glowing There was no way of knowing How the voices would rise through the air With this hand on the dial He shot up a smile To the stars To the stars To the stars His story was long But this is just one little song Some liberties have to be taken He got lost he got found There was love all around His heart was never left faking Learned a few lessons Wherever was guessing Wherever you go There you are Then one day, he was dust Just as all of us must go to the stars To the stars To the stars To the stars
