Shooting Star

The starlight rains down upon us
as it has since the dawn of time
a meteor flash overhead
leaves a brilliant orange scar

the time has come to make a wish
in the clear and moonless night
this wish will have an impact
on your ongoing life

shooting stars light the night
they're all around us in the sky
I am dreaming of my future
while I sit here and watch the stars

time passes by and the stars fade out
and with them go our dreams
the new day's sunlight takes us back
bringing end to our great illusion

Here comes your future
your future in a shooting star
take your heed, you have to follow
be it near or ever far
