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.
