Little Star

作曲/編曲: Davy@sense
填詞: 曰云@sense


*Once upon, once upon a time
When there were no such things, things we call spaceships or planes
Way up high, way up in the sky
Someone saw this little star

Now it's two thousand and nine
When there are still such things, things we call poverty and pain
Way up high, way up in the sky
We can still find this little star*

If you can see it, it'll twinkle for you
If you can name it, it'll answer to you
If you can touch it, it'll smile at you
If you can love it, it is forever yours

If you reach for it, it'll glow in beauty
If you embrace it, it'll grant you a wish
If you cherish it, it'll make you rich
If you believe it, there's nothing to fear

Repeat *

It shines above you, when the world is a mess
It looks after you, when you want to protest
It's right here for you, gotta hope for the best
Just wish upon it, it'll take care of the rest

You call it dreamy, touchy feely and stuff
It's reality that we're talking about
Come on, we all know life is rough and it's tough
We just need some peace, some hope and some love

Repeat *

Once upon, once upon a time
Someone wrote a song, a song that's kinda cute, kinda short
Way up high, way up in the sky
There's something that is small and bright

Now it's two thousand and nine
When there is still so much, so much that is unjust and wrong
Deep inside, somewhere deep inside
There's still hope that we can make it right


後記:

每次在晚上, 抬頭看見滿天星星的時候, 總會有很平安的感覺. 是那種...世界很漂亮, 生活很美好的感覺. 有人會覺得對著星星許願是不切實際的, 像小朋友相信聖誕老人一樣 -- 幼稚, 無知. 不過...不造夢的人就不幼稚, 不無知嗎? 有時候, 信和不信是一個選擇. 假如不實際的夢能夠緩和現實的痛, 有何不可? 假如一個信念, 一個希望, 能夠為世界拾回一點童真, 一點笑容, 一點愛......

There's reasons for why we love kids, and I think this is one of them...^^
