*~Asterisk~

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
Send a plea from across the ages
With colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
To live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
Let's shine on like that star

One, two, and so the bells echo
Spreading far and wide in the depths of my heart
A legendary stardrop, inside it
There's so many narrow paths etched out
With time, the ages pass
A shooting star passes without a sound
Close your eyes and listen hard
Maybe you'll hear a "G O O D Bye"

A black and white photo of the entire sky
A rumbling muffler - white breath
Just wanna get a little closer
I'll race to the high ground up there
Taking out my huge telescope
Out of the lens came stardust
Time after time, an epic from across the ages

Now that the light is released
Surely it can't fail
Across time it's got to reach someone
The light of glory is right across the way
It's the story I'm about to weave with you all

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
Send a plea from across the ages
With colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
To live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
Let's shine on like that star

With my birth cry, a small light and
A great light met across space and time
Their shine became one, to begin a new story
Like a constellation that connects the dots,
why shouldn't we create a lovely painting for someone?
Take a look above you; see, it's a winter diamond
This slow-moving galaxy, soon enough, will give you your courage back

Now that the light is released
Surely it can't fail
Across time it's got to reach someone
The light of glory is right across the way
It's the story I'm about to weave with you all

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
Send a plea from across the ages
With colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
To live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
Let's shine on like that star

This sky is the only one there is
It spreads over all. And beyond the sea
Right now, new life takes breath, and life is cut off
While stars shine on, like goddesses
Continuing a long journey, or starting anew
In spring, summer, fall and winter
Even a second is enough, just a moment is enough
To engrave my thoughts
To shine without end across the ages

The story goes on in the heart
the "you" of that day takes a night train

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
Send a plea from across the ages
With colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
To live as fully as possible, day by day
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
Send a plea from across the ages
With colours that haven't faded
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
Let's shine on like that star

Let's shine on like that star
