"I Wish That I Could Fly"

The Moon rises in the dark blue sky
The Stars are shining brightly as they are

I wish they're not too high
I wish they're not too far
I wish that I could fly
And reach them where they are

Why are they so high?
Why are they so far?
I could only wonder why
Tried to understand them why they are

Then I breathe a sigh
And pondered its thoughts from afar
But just as they're so high
I could only go as far

I  wish that I could fly
And be there to where they are
I wish that I could fly
And be among

The Moon and the Stars
