lyrics

As a boy I was gazing the sky
And I wanted to touch it
There a yellow star mocked me
and said that I could never catch it

So I stepped on a chair
and I reached but my hands were so tiny
And I promised myself that one day
That the star is going to be mine

So I found a big tree and I climbed
And I knew I was closer
But the sky was still so far away
And I thought it was over

But one day I climbed on a mountain
And a cloud whispered into my ear
That if I could hear what it said
I could not have no limits and fears

So I got on a plane and I flied
But its walls and its windows contained me
So I hopped on an air balloon
But the atmosphere framed me

Then I closed my eyes and I flied with my wings
To the middle of nowhere
With a boat that could roam through the stars found the one That invited me over

So I asked for a bit of its light
Gave me some and it smiled
And since then I appear every night waiting for
my special child
