Wish For a Star


As the world grows bigger
And you find yourself so small
I hope you will find someone
To help you rise above it all

After the spotlight has faded
And only the man remains
May there be someone there
Without something to gain

As others focus on the outer
May she look to see within
Sharing the same desires
When hopes of family begin

To the world, you may shine bright
Or become a fading star
Yet she remains, not for roles played
Only because of whom you are

As beauty slowly slips away
I hope you find yourself to be
With the one who sees you
And not just fame and glory

When the jokes have all grown old
And there's nothing new to say
May her company not be waning
May you still enjoy each day

As the joints grow slow and tired
And it's hard to bust a move
May there still be one that's longing
To dance each day with you

May she firmly hold your hand
No matter the incoming call
Supporting your dreams as her own
Together forever, once and for all
