Ok, I have posted a few things about wishing ... on a star... just to wish... however. I've had a few secret wishes of my own lately, and I thought that was what was driving the graphics and the words in some recent posts.
Today I get in the car to run to the store for a few things and as soon as the car starts Bryan Adams is on the radio. I do love his songs and 'Star' is one of my favorites. Hits home! My eyes filled with tears as I sang along. Let me tell you, be glad you weren't with me to hear my voice bellowing. :)~
Then, Steve and I go to pick up dinner. What's on the radio? You guessed it, 'Star' again. Different station but song again. Now I haven't heard this song in months, lots and lots of months and today I hear it twice. Kind wondered why.....
I decided to post the words as I think it might hit home with a few others and maybe bring a smile to their face knowing they aren't alone.
What cha wanna be - when you grow up
What cha gonna do - when your time is up
What cha gonna say - when things go wrong
What cha wanna do - when you’re on your own
There’s a road - long and winding
The lights are blindin’ - but it gets there
Don’t give up - don’t look back
There’s a silver linin’ - it’s out there somewhere
Everybody wants an answer - everybody needs a friend
We all need a shinin’ star on which we can depend
N’ so tonight we’re gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before - (to find what you’re
Looking for)

There’ll be times - in your life
Ya when you’ be dancin’ n’ shit - but you ain’t gettin it
But don’t get disillusioned - no, don’t expect too much
Cuz if what you have is all you can get - just keep on
Tryin’ - it just ain’t happened yet
Everybody wants ta be winner - everybody has a dream
We all need a shinin’ star when things ain’t what they seem
So tonight we’re gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before - (gotta get where you’re
Headed for)
Everybody wants some kindness - everybody needs a break
We all need a shinin’ star when things get hard to take
So tonight we’re gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before

Your entry did give me goosebums .....Beautiful entry.....and the words did hit home :) Thanks for this entry! Hugs, Maria
Did the song get stuck in your head? That usually happens to me whenever I hear a song that I like and i haven't heard it in a long, long time.
When something like that happens to me, I take it as a sign. Someone is trying to send you a message from the other side. I know that may sound weird, but I don't think there are coincidences. :) Have a good one.
