When I Look At The Stars

When I look at the stars,
I feel at home
When I look at the stars,
I can never feel alone
When I look at the stars,
My stress disappears
When I look at the stars,
They rid of my fears
I look at the stars, so brilliantly bright
I hope that I can visit them one night
When the sun comes up and the sky turns blue,
A wave of blue sadness washes over the children too
They gaze at the sky with their longing, wide eyes
Wondering when the stars will arise
So many stars in our great big sky
I hope their light will never die
