Wishing Upon a Shooting Star

I look up into the sky above
Seeking the heavens for a shooting star
Willing my wish to take me afar
Maybe I’ll even fall in love
Seeing the world, one country at a time
I can’t wait to get out of here
Say good bye to the world I hold so dear
A sad farewell, only too easy to mime
You got to dance through life,
That’s what I tell myself
Every night before I tuck myself into bed
Everyone has such a short life
The length of which is as tall as an elf
Too short to be a sheep, don’t be led.
