Shooting Stars
Staring at the sky,
From night to five,
Waiting for the time,
The Shooting star arrives
A Silent Night,
With a boy of no Fright,
Waiting for the time,
The shooting star arrives.
The Shooting star perhaps arrived,
But I had a small nap at the time,
Waiting for the time,
Another one arrives
The other one arrived,
Shining with passion and pride,
Due to its light,
The whole World became bright.
It’s none other than The Sun
The only and one…
