When
I see
a falling 
star,

cascading
down
the
cloudless
night -

I think
that
somewhere
in
the world,

a baby
lay
crying,

from the 
dark
atrocity's
of
poverty -

So
I say,

Oh 
Great Spirit,

guide
this falling 
star,

to 
the valley
of
the poor,

and
brighten
the way

of 
those
who are
suffering,

and
lead them
to 
a brighter
day -

I'm 
wishing
on a
star -
