One Yellow Star
One yellow star
Part of a constellation
Trillions of miles away
A ball of hydrogen gas
Surrounded by unseen planets
It burns with immeasurable heat
Trillions of miles away
A young girl lies in a field of night flowers
Looking into a pitch black sky
She sees the one yellow star
And she wishes on the first star she sees that night
She wishes for love
She wishes for happiness and health
Trillions of miles away
That one yellow star burns
The unseen planets orbit around it
It may never hear the young girl’s wishes
The wishes that will never be granted
That one yellow star doesn’t know about the wishes
Or maybe it just doesn’t care
