Song Description

A song about giving up a high-stress, high paying job to devote my time to music

Lyrics

You say you wanna change, your life is incomplete
You?re dealing with the same old song and dance every day of the week
And every thing is going just the way that everyone has planned for you
The check is in the mail, the balance overdue

That?s the way it was for me not so long ago
I had myself a big important job just to pay for the show
And everything was going just the way that everyone had planned for me
And then I got a clue about the in-between

I remembered wishing on a star
Lightning bugs caught in a jar
Every new adventure turned me on
And that little child kept telling me
Build a life upon your dreams
Keep your spirit all along
Keep that polestar burning on

You say you wanna fly, hey it?s not too late
All you gotta do is imagine you got a bigger cage
Everybody knows that it?s not that hard to flap those wings
It?s getting off the ground, that?s the hardest thing

I remembered wishing on a star
Lightning bugs caught in a jar
Every new adventure turned me on
And that little child kept telling me
Build a life upon your dreams
Keep your spirit all along
Keep that polestar burning on

Every little thing you do makes
Every little thing you do makes
Every little thing you do makes everything shine on

I remember wishing on a star
Lightning bugs caught in a jar
Every new adventure turned me on
And that little child keeps telling me
Build a life upon your dreams
Keep your spirit all along
Keep that polestar burning on
