Second Star To The Right

Ruby shoes, rosy cheeks

Skipping down linden street

Hears the birds, sings along

Joining in their morning song

Big ideas, little hands

Dreaming up mighty plans

Waves hello to the sun

A new adventure has begun

There's pirates and princes and crocodile caves

And skies full of ships that the starlight engraves

I lay in my bed and I think of that girl

All of the magic she held in her world

If she saw us now, I wish I'd make her proud

Tell her the stories of wonders we found

I need her back, tracing her tracks

Following maps so I can catch a flight

Towards the second star to the right

Busy streets, blinding lights

Chasing dreams, losing time

Life becomes a leaky boat

You're rowing just to stay afloat

The more you live, the more it seems

That shine can fade from everything

Eventually, it's all the same

And you're just getting through the day

There's heartbreaks and mistakes and searching within

And nights without sleep wondering what could have been

I lay in my bed and I think of that girl

All of the magic she held in her world

If she saw us now, I wish I'd make her proud

Tell her the stories of wonders we found

I need her back, tracing her tracks

Following maps so I can catch a flight

Towards the second star to the right

And out of nowhere, into light

A comet sparkles through the night

And takes my breath away

The whimsy of the little things

Is where the magic spreads its wings

And that's where it will stay

It lingers in the scent of rain

Or in a springtime bird's refrain

On ordinary days

It's pockets full of pixie dust

And keeping faith and growing trust

And staying wonderstruck

It's beautifully tragic

To long for the magic

Only to find it inside of you

I lay in my bed and I am that girl

Marvel at magic I hold in my world

If she saw us now, I know I'd make her proud

Tell her the stories of wonders we found

I got her back, I traced her tracks, I followed maps and caught a one-way flight

Towards the second star to the right
