Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Scientists tell us what you are.

Hydrogen . . . and helium?

Oxygen and nitrogen . . .

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Is that really what you are?

Twinkle, twinkle, little spark

Bravely twinkling in the dark

We come out to gaze at you,

When we worry what to do.

We find up there a ray of light.

A hope, a comfort in the night

Twinkle, twinkle little star!

Is hope and comfort what you are?

Twinkle, twinkle, I have a clue!

They say we’re made of stardust too.

Made to shine, made to gleam

To imagine and to dream

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

– a friend to us is what you are.

Twinkle, twinkle, little child,

In the garden running wild

Full of laughter, free and light

I hope your future will be bright,

Twinkle, twinkle, you’ll go far

Shine on bravely – you’re the star.
