Ride Your Wishing Star

Inspired by “Stand Up & Shout” by Ronnie James Dio

Ride Your Wishing Star

In our solar system, 
     the king of stars is Sun
even though this star
      you cannot outrun,
find a star and make a wish.
       Reach up to the sky.
Grab that star’s glow
        no matter if it’s high.

Chorus:
    Jump, jump, jump up.
Ride your wishing star.
     Once you’ve caught a hold of it,
it will take you far.

Don’t let people tell you
       what you have to do.
If you don’t desire it,
        it is not for you.
Everyone has something
        they are dreaming of.
What is it you REALLY want?
         What is it you love?

Bridge: 
Success does not come easy. Sometimes you will hear
someone say it’s easy. Only fools say that.
Make your star your stallion, and ride it without fear. 


Chorus:
     Jump, jump, jump up.
Ride your wishing star.
     Once you’ve caught a hold of it,
it will take you far. 

Repeat Chorus

Andrea, there's a lot to think about here. Having a dream in itself is something to ponder. At this point, my own is just to enjoy every day and try to do little things to keep the environment healthy. It's just fun to help people whenever possible. Smiles!!
