Close your eyes
Rest your head
Let your spirits rise
Sleepy head
Rest your mind
It’s been well fed
You can be what you want to

And it doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

And it doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

Close your eyes
Say goodnight
Hug your lover
Real tight
Let your dreams
Into your heart
Let your dreams take flight

And it doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

It doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

It doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star
