Lyrics

I

Did you know that the queen of our universe
has a crown of twelve stars upon her head,
and that her ways are gentleness and love,
the kind that only a mother
could give her child?

Seeing her golden crown, We have made these stars;
We have made them hover in the deep blue sky.
There are twelve in number, all in all,
and we're giving each star away
to a very special child.

You will share this star with your friends all around you;
you will show them light, help them all to dream;
you will keep its light deep within your heart.
Now I give this to you, dearest daughter of Mine!

Please take care of this star;
it shines so bright,
it's just the way you are!
Let it hover above you
as you bask in its light;
let it lead you,
let it guide you, oh—!

Please take care of this star;
it shines so bright,
it's just the way you are!
Let it banish the darkness
and keep you safe at night,
let it bring forth your happiest dreams!

Still I hear your words in the midst of the strife
hidden just behind the front door of my home.
I have kept it close to my heart
for very many years, but now
it must return to you:

I've been beaten up badly for keeping this star;
(I can hear the thundering of your battered skin!)
I've been pleading with those who want to tear it all apart;
(I can see the tears of blood it shed at night!)
No one sees the tears rushing down my cheeks at night-time,
(And I can see the words that form within your heart)
when I go to sleep alone!
(that silently rise to Me!)

I have shared this star with my friends all around me;
I have shown them hope, I have cherished the light,
but now I risk my all to see it shining right beside me,
so I send this to you, dearest Father, oh please—!

Please take care of this star;
it shines so bright,
it's just the way you are!
Take it gently in your hands
as it flies across the waters
to be with you,
to embrace you, oh—!

Please take care of this star;
it shines so bright,
it's just the way you are!
One day I'll fight my way
to get it back within my hands—!

And it'll shine
into the night
as it brings forth my happiest dreams!
(Commend to My hands your happiest dreams!)
