Star Tree
I have a dream.
It’s a beautiful night.
I step through the walls of my room
And take flight.
I race to the stars.
They’re like fruit on a tree.
I never felt so good in my life.
Never felt so free.
These dreams of flying carry me so high.
I can see the clouds below me on the wrong side of the sky.
I’m so exhilarated it somehow all seems true.
The star-tree in my flying dream is reaching out to you.
And in this dream
I know what to do.
I pick one bright piece of star-fruit.
It’s for you.
I take it to earth
and plant it there.
It leaps up as another tree
straight into the air.
These dreams of flying carry me so high.
I can see the clouds below me on the wrong side of the sky.
I’m so exhilarated it somehow all seems true.
The star-tree in my flying dream is reaching out to you.
And I wonder if across the world when lovers fall asleep
They know the secret flight-path to a place where love runs deep.
And best of all
When I’m earth-bound with you
We talk about these flying dreams.
You have them too.
I feel that we’re close.
There’s a secret we share
that carries us up to the stars
And love grows stronger there.
These dreams of flying carry me so high.
I can see the clouds below me on the wrong side of the sky.
I’m so exhilarated it somehow all seems true.
The star-tree in my flying dream is reaching out to you.
The star-tree in my flying dream is made for me and you.
