The stars were out tonight and twinkling brightly in the sky Little boys and girls were staring up at all the stars So gently glinting in the dark They were whispering and giggling with hands upon their faces All were wishing for one more to fall They loved the sight of those little stars Made of streaming wispy beams of light For dreams were attached and trailing far behind Oh look mommy, oh look daddy, they're so beautiful to see One tiny little star was sitting up so high Just waiting for his turn to fall there from the sky As he waited he did wonder so aloud   What will happen when I fall here from the sky Will I come to be again way up here in the heavens   Will I chance to glow and shine again, way up in the dark Will I splinter into a thousand rainbows to brighten everyone's day Or will that be the end of me when I do go fall and die The tiny little star did continue to his musing All I wanted was right here to sit and shine away For dreams of gleaming light to soften the Milky Way. Perhaps God has some other plans Just forgot to let me know For here I am just another little star All the little boys and girls then looked up into the big wide sky Saying mommy- daddy- look at that! As the tiny little star did tumble and stream it's way to die Just one more to do just one more chance No not for now little star Perhaps the time will come but for another day.
