Why do you fall, little star?
Did you fall asleep and let go?
Did you give up?
Was it too hard to hold on?
They all make it seem so easy
Floating high, sparkling bright
Was it never your turn to be first?
Did no child wish upon your light?
Did you feel an emptiness?
Did you feel outshone?
I wonder why you let go, little star
As I watch you tear open the sky
I make a wish
Oh, how I wish
I will remember you, my little star
