Star Gazer
These three magic rocks, I hold tight in my hand
Rolling them over, now, what could I plan?
Leave my reality? A new opportunity?
How should I use them? The power they hold...
Can they take me away, as I have been told
To magical places, ...to far-away lands?..
But oh the dilemma, how can I choose?
A place where I could leave all my worries behind?
As I stood there and pondered, under a star filled sky
Searching my heart, to find peace of mind
One star caught my eye, as it dangled so bright...
And I knew.... I must visit the heavens tonight!
Closing my eyes, I made a wish on the stones
In a gust of wind, I was no longer alone
Suddenly appeared was a heavenly tree
Up through the branches were stair steps for me!
I climbed up the limbs, as it reached for the sky
I climbed and clung, as I climbed up so high..
Below the horizon stretched and grew
Till the earth swung free in a tide of blue
Weary and stiff, but fiercely proud
I swung at last to a ledge of a cloud
I sat and I looked at the earth that I know
Then realized the troubles that live down below
When I'd rested enough from my head to crown
I left my soft loft and I climbed the tree down
I see things much clearer, from up high in the air
I'm now super-hero who followed a star
In my pocket, the rocks that used to be there
Remind me that children need more than a tear
To look to the sky when their world seems unfair
If their worries come back and a nightmare is there
I'll quickly escort them up heavenly stairs....
