What would happen
What would happen?
What would happen if there were no more shooting
stars? Could we still wish for our true love to find us
no matter where it is that we are? If all of the coins
that we wish on had vanished to throw down all the
wishing wells? Would we not be able to find our
soulmates or listen to all the wedding bells? What if
all of the candles burned down and there were none
to blow out? Will we still get our wishes to be
together someday soon without a bit of doubt? Do you
think that there could still be a happily ever after with a
once upon a time without the fairy tale? Could happy
endings really still come true if you never had loved
me or if I never loved you? Would the world still spin
in a circle around the sun followed by the moon if the sun
never rose above our heads causing blue clear skies
to appear when we laid out that blanket on the cool
spring grass and made love? Could the birds still sing
in the trees by our window in the morning when we wake up
in each other's arms if all of the falling leaves disappear?
I wonder if love is tied to the night and all lights flickering
above our heads is heaven really up that way and will
the lights still guide our way when our souls rise up
to make their way home? Are the stars that shine down
a sign that hope is still around to give us all of the
strength in times like these to continue moving on,
or are we really all alone and those lights are nothing
more than dreams that never did come true? Is there
anybody out there in all the darkness that we see or are
we all alone to wallow in our own misery? Is our savior
really coming to save us all one day or is that just a
fairy tale to make us feel okay so we sleep in our beds
at night hoping for another day? Are we just a parasite
destroying all that we can see and when it is gone
will we disappear again?
