A Starlit Wish

Verse 1

A boy at the window, counting streaks of rain and stars,

Whispers to a distant beacon, “Would you keep my secret?

If grown-up eyes should judge the love I dream tonight,

Let this little wish burn quiet, till dawn gives me a light.”

Pre-Chorus

The night hums like a dim choir, soft and low,

A compass pulled toward the unknown where brave boys grow.

Chorus

This wish is a shadow flame, a risk dressed in velvety gold,

If they knew the truth inside, would they dare to be so bold?

I wear a map of the Milkey Way where futures might unfold,

A star-lit wish of what may be, when I am brave and bold.

Verse 2 (dream sequence, grown-up love)

In sleep he’s older, streets glow copper, rain of chrome,

Two men walk through corridors of light they call their home.

A touch becomes a sunrise, a steady, bright flame,

Their hands find each other’s embrace, their wish, one and the same.

Pre-Chorus

The cosmos writes in braids of dawn, a patient desire,

That love can be a compass if you learn to trust your fire.

Chorus

This wish is a shadow flame, a risk dressed in velvet gold,

If they knew the truth inside, would they dare to be so bold?

I wear a map of the Milkey Way where futures might unfold,

A star-lit wish of what may be, when I am brave and bold.

Bridge

How would the world allow what time itself would prove?

Maybe it starts with a single breath that steadies love.

Two hearts in a quiet orbit, circling what’s true,

Where last night’s dream becomes a question, not a clue.

Final Chorus / Outro

Let the stars keep secrets in their ancient, patient light,

If tomorrow asks us how, we’ll find a way to write it right.

Until then, the night remains a doorway, softly told,

A star-lit wish, waiting for the day we’re bold.
