If I wished upon a star,

would it take me very far?

If i asked for true love,

would it come from up above?

If I asked to see the truth,

would it pull me from my youth?

If I begged to take part,

would it really break my heart?

If, I wonder, I read a book,

would it show me where to look?


Oh, sometimes when I chance to catch the sunrise,

I feel it will bring a sweet surprise.

And when I wish upon a star,

I know it won't take me far.

And if i really found true love,

It might not come from above

If i asked to see the truth,

I could stay here in my youth.

If i begged to take part,

It would only touch my heart.

I can always read a book,

and it will show me where to look.


It doesn't matter who you are,

just a look will take you far.

It is nice when you know love,

and to sleep under the sky above.

It is good to see the truth,

it is good to have your youth.

It is fine to know your heart,

It is fine to take your part.

It is just to read a book,

It is how you know to look.
