Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder how you are
I’m just a girl with a dream
I notice things you can't see
What is real what is fake
We have determined our own fate.
We watched the movies, wrote the books
So as I stand here I look at the sky
And for the first time, I understood
How the stars are meant to be read
Not as a book but as a dance
Reach for the stars they tell us this
But yet here we are and we’ve reached the start and parked the car.
Oh world
Oh world
Please listen to their cries
They yearn to be watched and plead to be heard
Yet we don’t even stop to appreciate their spark.
Why for the first time as I looked up in the sky
It was the first and the last I would see them sparkle and shine
I looked at them newly
As if we were old friends
Waiting and waiting for that same sparkle again
That's when I realized this is world is a lie
For even the stars aren’t safe in the sky
We have refused to hear them to watch their dance
And we throw the trash we can’t keep into their space
Onto the dance floor over their spot light
Which is why I can no longer see their smiles at night.
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder how you are
Your dance once clear in the sky
None ask you how's your shine?
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder how you are?
