To Go and Return
Wish on a star, it's gonna work in the future,in the time that it takes a wish to go and return,when you're sleeping at night the wish is flying and flying,the star will wait 'til it's time to listen and learn,and the wish it will land in the star's giant hand, and a bridge will appear to the star's giant ear,and the wish it will walk to the ear and then talk,and this all will take place deep in the forest of space.Every song a bird has sung in the morningis a song on the dark side that a bird dreams at nightand each turn of the earth makes half the upside-down beakstake a turn in the dream-songs from the ones upside-right,and each time that they match there's a egg that will hatch'til they open the moon, and the earth will hatch too,'til a chirp is expressed from each galaxy's nest,and this all will take place deep in the forest of space.When the wishes come back they'll be granted and givenbut the time that it took will be a life and a half,so each life that we live is someone's wish from a distance,each wish that we make the future won't need to askand the starlight that beams through each island that dreamsis reflected so small in the eyes of us all,and each light bounces back to someplace out in the blackfrom our face to its face deep in the forest of space.
