Stardust

I stood out alone in a field of grass

not knowing how long this moment would last

the wind, it blew a song through the blades

the light grew dim, the sun did fade.

I stared up high into the sky

afraid to breathe, to bat an eye

for I waited for that first star to shine

to twinkle and dance across the high tree line.

For I needed to make a wish, a prayer

that someone would hear me, somehow, somewhere

for if I can see You in that great big Space

Dear Star, can you see me, can you see my face?

I'm just a little one alone in this great big field

and though its just me, I'm still concealed

will anyone know that I was here

or am I just a speck of dust in the atmosphere?

Will I be remembered for the difference I made

or like the light of day, will I simply fade?

So hear I am wishing to the great expanse

That you'll teach me, please, how to twinkle and dance.

I ain't asking, dear one, to be a Superstar

for I know in my heart, that is what you are

But I'll tell you if you ask, and ask me you must

I wanna leave behind my own speck of stardust.
