Fading Star
A star is shining
In the day
Can you see it?
No, no way
It is fading
So make a wish
As it falls
If you can see what’s “not there”
Maybe you can find a better world somewhere
If you wish on a fading star
No matter where you are
You’ll see it glow
A child’s crying
In the night
There are no stars
In the sky
In her mind
If you can see what’s “not there”
Maybe you can find a better world somewhere
If you wish on a fading star
No matter where you are
You’ll see it glow
A girl is writing
A simple poem
To make sense of
What she knows
At night she cries
By day she makes a wish
If you can see what’s “not there”
Maybe you can find a better world somewhere
If you wish on a fading star
No matter where you are
You’ll see it glow
