A MILLION STARS
by Jean Mazzei
Dec 31, 2006
a million stars are born each day in the city of the angels
a million stars light up the night and smile on perfect strangers
who will be the millionth star whose dreams wake up as true
a million dream and most will sleep and one may shine for you
a million stars are born each night a million wishes made
a million stars light a million dreams and a million children pray
a million cry 6 billion tears over what they might have had
a million scars from monkey bars and dreams that broke in half
every star's been wished upon and holds at least one dream
all so alike yet each unique a million voices sing
the same song in the morning
the same prayer every night
and a million times, those million rhymes, keep looking for their light
a million stars shine each night and each star holds a wish
but can a million hungry dreams come true from 5 loaves and 2 fish?
whatever you believe in will shine light on your path
and a million and one become the sun and a million stars begin to laugh
