WHEN AS A CHILD, I LOOKED ON HIGH
AT STARS ALL TWINKLING IN THE SKY
MY MIND WOULD WHIRL IN PURE DELIGHT
I WISHED TO WATCH THEM THRU THE NIGHT.

BUT MOMMIE SAID...ITS TIME FOR BED
AND SO I LEFT AND HUNG MY HEAD
FOR THEY WERE LIKE A PRECIOUS FRIEND
THEY'RE ALWAYS THERE, THEY HAD NO END.

SO MANY NIGHTS WHEN CHILDREN PLAY
OUT IN THE STREETS, I CREPT AWAY
AND THREW MYSELF UPON MY BACK
TO WATCH THE STARS, THEY WERE ON TRACK.

BIG DIPPER AND NOW ALL THE REST
MY HEART WOULD POUND WITHIN MY CHEST
SUCH A RAPTURE CARRIED ME
OUT PAST THIS WORLD, OH I WAS FREE!

MY LITTLE MIND NOW TOOK IT'S FLIGHT
IT CARRIES ME UP THRU THE NIGHT
AND OUT BEYOND THIS PLANET EARTH
I KNEW I HAD A SPECIAL WORTH.

BUT WHAT IT WAS, I DID NOT KNOW
BUT MAYBE TIME TO ME WOULD SHOW
JUST WHY I'M HERE IN THIS BIG WORLD
FOR I AM SUCH A LITTLE GIRL.

IS THERE MEANING TO MY LIFE
WILL I BE SOME RICHMAN'S WIFE
OR SHALL I BE A SINGER PROUD
I HAVE A VOICE, THAT'S VERY LOUD.

OR WILL I DANCE FOR KINGS AND QUEENS
MY FEET HAVE MAGIC THAT'S PLAINLY SEEN
COULD MEDICINE BE JUST MY FIELD,
OH WHAT IS TRUE AND WHAT IS REAL?

IS THERE A PLAN LAID OUT FOR ME,
TELL ME STARS...WHAT DO YOU SEE,
HOW TO KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST
SHALL MY LIFE BE, JUST ONE BIG QUEST?

BUT MOSTLY HOW MY MIND DID FLY
TO KNOW THE SECRETS OF THE SKY
WHO MADE THE STARS WHO WERE MY FRIEND
A MYSTERY...DOES IT HAVE AN END?

YES... THAT IS WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
NOT WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO GO,
WHO HAD MADE THOSE STARS SOOO BRIGHT,
THAT SHINE UPON ME EVERY NIGHT.

MY LITTLE MIND NOW JUMPS WITH GLEE
YES... THIS IS WHAT IS CALLING ME
TO FIND THE ANSWER IS MY GOAL
MY TRAVELS NOW..THEY DO UNFOLD.

SO MANY YEARS ..SO LONG AGO,
BUT THIS I WANT YOU NOW TO KNOW
I FOUND THE ANSWER I SO SOUGHT
IT IS MY ONE CONSUMING THOUGHT.

IT BRINGS ME JOY BEYOND COMPARE
AND HAPPINESS THAT IS SO RARE
IT IS A SECRET NOT OF EARTH
IT IS A TREASURE, OF GREAT WORTH!

I STILL FEEL AS A LITTLE GIRL,
WHEN I LOOK OUT UPON THIS WORLD,
BUT IN MY MIND IS WISDOM RARE,
AND IF YOU WISH, I'LL GLADLY SHARE.

FOR TREASURES MUST BE SHARED YOU SEE,
IT IS NOT JUST FOR ONLY ME,
THEN YOU SHALL HAVE THIS TREASURE TOO.
I SO WOULD LOVE TO TALK WITH YOU.
