A star shines in the sky (go back »)

A star shines in the sky,

While a bitch is walked around, by her master,

And while a neighbour lives a dog’s life,

And while a husband sadly hears the last words,

Of his dying wife.

While a surprise party is held, in one apartment,

And while a secret weapon is made, in a secret department.

While a stranger falls, in love at first sight,

With a lady of the night.

A star shines in the sky,

While some pray to their God, or to their gods,

And while fishermen dream, of better fishing rods,

And while a woman is constantly haunted, by nightmares,

Of world poverty.

While a boy gets a visit, from the tooth fairy,

And while lovers spend the night, passionately.

While an uncle gets electrocuted,

From a broken TV.

A star shines in the sky,

But only a select few,

Will behold its beauty,

Only a few villagers, from a remote community,

Witnessed how it was extraordinarily lovely,

They made sure to spend a moment to appreciate it fully,

Before it faded away once more,

Within the depths of the galaxy.
