and sometimes i wonder
who really cares
when nobody's near me
and nobody shares
and nobody knows me
or hears my heart beats
the times i've been lonely
and out on the streets
times i could have died
and no one would know
who really cares
if i come or go
i wish i could know
the unconditional trust
the faith others seem to have
or is that just illusion
how do you know what is real?
i wish i could know
the unconditional love
comfort others seem to have
or is that just illusion
how do you know how it feels?
maybe i am missing something
essential to the human experience
but i've never known the answers
that others seem to take for granted
am i just too dense
sometimes i wonder…
.
.
.
and if in the end
the love you give
comes back around
will i receive it too
i've given all i have
many times over
and if in the end
the unconditional
is only an illusion
is it real if it's shared
how can i know?
oh oh oh oh oh
sometimes i wonder…
wishing on a star
for someone to understand
i'm not sure what happened
if anything was planned
it did not work out right
i'm full of broken dreams
but can it be as bad
as it seems?
wishing on a star
for someone to care enough
to take the time to know
how challenging and rough
this life has been so far
and how hard i've tried
to give love and be good
only to be denied
what's the use of crying my eyes out
to fall asleep and wake after another lonely night
what's the use of trying to figure it all out
when no one seems to care if i get anything right
what’s the use of giving everything i've got
if all i find is people who just take
what's the use of believing in honesty and love
when all it does it force my heart to break
what's the use of going on
i have no answers now
it feels like all hope should be gone
but it's not
and i don't know how
i just keep
wishing on a star
for someone to understand
the journey i've been on
is it a wonderland?
it's been bliss and despair
loneliness and love
hope and trust in dreams
i keep dreaming of
as i keep
wishing on a star
for someone to care enough
to take the time to know
how sensitive and tough
i have been so far
and how much i want to
give love and be good
to a heart that's true
don't be cruel
don't be cruel
is it you?
wishing on a star
for someone to understand
i'm not sure what happened
if anything was planned
or what is wrong or right
i only know my dreams
are all i'm living for
or so it seems
wishing on a star
for someone to care enough
to take the time to know
everything and stuff
that makes me who i am
and how i want to share
to give love and be good
to someone who cares
i just keep
wishing on a star
for someone to understand
the journey i've been on
is it a wonderland?
it's been bliss and despair
loneliness and love
hope and trust in dreams
i keep dreaming of
as i keep
wishing on a star
for someone to care enough
to take the time to know
how sensitive and tough
i have been so far
and how much i want to
give love and be good
to a heart that's true
don't be cruel
don't be cruel
is it you?
wishing on a star
for someone to understand
wishing on a star
for a gentle hand
wishing on a star
for a shared wonderland
where unconditional trust
and honest love command
and fear is not allowed
to overpower love
and doubt is replaced by faith
in these dreams we dream of
wishing on a star
for unconditional trust
and honest love
