A city made of poison Couldn't keep her off her feet She had desires to chase And dreams to feed A small town With no way in and no way out Couldn't keep her from drowning out Roaring contempt So she sought solace in the basslines And wasted away a lonely night Wishing on shooting stars In the black expanse of country sky *Star light, star bright I wish I may, I wish I might Break this curse And find courage to risk the flight* For years, it seemed She'd wished so long and asked herself *What am I doing wrong? Plainly, I do not belong Because my soul has this fire This passion burns brighter Than any flame I've ever seen I believe, I do believe...* Got the power to change But circumstance forced her stay No money, no escape But she knew that one day Efforts would prevail And knew how The wind always seemed to say *Darling, one day I'll sweep you away because I hear you pray, and it's not in vain So wipe your tears and find your strength* *Keep singing that song, You're already gone, gone, gone You've been drifting on harmony all along*
