Wish Upon a Snowflake
Snowflakes are twinkling like stars in the sky;
The wind whirls them around as it breathes out a sigh.
And as I gaze up, I am widely grinning,
'Cause it brings me back to the days of star spinning.
Though not a star in the sky's to be found,
I wish upon a snowflake as it floats to the ground.
What I truly wish for is renewal
of peace and love, not just petroleum fuel.
A snowflake is so humble and pure
I'd faithfully turn to it to find a cure.
'Cause humble and pure is what we should be
Just try it out, and you shall see.
And should it reach the ground below,
That snowflake was blessed just moments ago.
So even if there are no stars tonight
You can wish upon a snowflake's might.
