What if an opportunity presents itself... An opportunity to bring one thing to existence, with just a wish...
Would you be proud of your wish?
Or, would you be caught with your pants down...

Lyrics

Seating out here, my gaze has been raptured up in the sky.
I am short of breath trying to comprehend the mysteries within the vast expanse of our reality.
This dark canvas that is stretched out before me...
A perfect mistake, or perhaps, perfection in itself?

What painter's brush could have left the mystery of this dark splurge of ink,
On the pristine white canvas of the universe?
And yet, amidst the darkness, gaps remain,
Allowing the twinkle of the white canvas to shine through.

If only I could reach up and touch each of those twinkling lights,
As a part of the canvas of the universe, left on display for all to see.
Are those stars up there? Hanging out within those mysterious splurge for all to behold
I don't know what's up there, no one but it's painter does
But, I wish there were a place up there for me, right beside them,
With enough space to accommodate my dreams... I wish

Their glorious splendor on full display, a sight to behold.
I wish, just like the stars, to be beheld by every sight.
To never be forgotten, through the ages that are, and is to come.

Some say shooting stars are brief, fleeting sights.
Bright, but for only a moment, it fades away to the recess of the mind... forgotten.
But what if, what if I could have just one moment,
One moment to shine just as bright?

One moment to announce to the world that I!
Am!
Here!
To say, "This is me! This is what I am made of!
And this is the mark that I leave behind..."
Not just a nameless blip that once was.

But alas, all of existence may never truly witness my greatness,
The universe may never acknowledge my existence.
Yet, like a moth to the flame, I am drawn to the stars,
Longing to shine brightly, to leave my mark, to be seen...
To be... Heard.

That's not too much of a wish to make, is it?
As far as wishes go, this should be lightweight to the fairy godmother, shouldn't it?
I'm not wishing for the impossible here, am I?

It's not a fortune cookie wish situation, nor am I looking for a lamp of 3 wishes.
I promise, I won't make wishes out of wishes.
But, If only I had one wish, just one wish...
I wouldn't wish anything differently, I would only wish that--
I had my moment, my very own opportunity to go through the flames and be reforged into greatness...
Or, to ashes like a moth to the flame.

Cause, in the end, our worth is not measured by the number of days...
Months... Heck! Even the number of years that we existed.
Our worth would be weighed by, the depth in which we loved,
The passion of which we strived, and the brilliance with which we shone.

So let us shine, like the stars in the sky,
And let our light be a beacon, guiding others through the darkness.
If only you had one wish... A shooting star is right above you...
What would you wish for?
