I Wish I Can Become A Star

I Wish I Can Become A Star

Stars which are shining in the sky,

Some of them already disappeared thousands of light-year ago,

But is there any force that can besiege their bright light?

They escape the prison of space-time,

And settle upon the night sky,

Through a blinking light,

Murmuring to me.

You might think you are lonelier than I am,

Yet you have innumerous brothers and sisters

who accompany you shining in the sky.

I am only a stranger in a foreign land,

Who depends on your dim light,

To trace my happy memories for away.

You might think I have more freedom than you do,

Yet you can blink freely at night, smile upon the earth,

Share the joy and happiness of those lucky ones.

I can only love an earthly life,

Which is filled with worries and anxiety.

You might think you are insignificantly small,

Yet you are enough to be identified in the universe,

I can only be a particle of this society,

You however can shine brightly upon the earth,

Bring the light of life to people.

I wish I could become a star,

Let us forget the torment and vexation,

Let us give our light to the night,

Let us together be shining stars.
