Shooting Star

“I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet” Jack London

Verse 1

I’m walking at dusk in the shadows and crossing the park
The lamplight around me is burning and lights up my path
The lake and the fountain in shadows are just out of sight
The stars are beginning to move through the night

Verse 2

The lamplights are glowing and giving their warmth all around
The stars in reciprocal movement they shine without sound
And high in the heavens above me I look to the stars
There’s one that is burning so brightly, and touching my heart

Chorus 1

Oh shooting star
The more that I watch you
The more that I’m blessed by your light
Oh shooting star
You’re blazing a path through the skies
And you’re making me smile

Verse 3

You can’t take the Great Bear and bind him in front of your eyes
Orion the Hunter will never be held as a prize
A star is now moving so freely and fast in the night
Hidden by clouds for a time and then back into sight

Verse 4

The movement of all constellations are seen like a dance
The laws that must govern their path are made in advance
But somewhere a star is making its way through the skies
A will of its own and guided by something inside

Chorus 2

Oh shooting star
The more that I watch you
The more that I’m blessed by your light
Oh shooting star
You’re blazing a path through the skies
And you’re making me ……

Middle

There’s moments of loneliness deeper than I’ve ever known
It seems that the world is joyful and I’m all alone
I’m standing at dusk by the lamplight and looking above
And then in my heart I can feel that you’re shining your love

Verse 5

For stars are not cold or aloof, far up in skies
They live every day in the warmth of our bodies and lives
A meteor blazes its light in magnificent glow
It’s love like a furnace, burning and staring to grow

Chorus 3

Oh shooting star
The more that I feel you
The more that I’m blessed by your love
Oh shooting star
You’re blazing a path through my heart
And you’re making me smile
You’re blazing a path through my heart
Making me … smile
