in the face of despair, don’t forget your fairy godmother is still there

when you look up at the night sky 

what do you see?

is it just the stars

or infinite possibilities? 

 

are you still able to believe? 

 

it seems you lost hope when your wishes didn’t come true 

you never made it to where the people are 

a prince never picked up your shoe 

your hair swings lonely from your tower 

a happy ending seems to elude you 

 

can you still feel a little sparkle of magic, calling out when you feel blue? 

 

you are no princess 

forest friends won’t dry your tears 

or fix your tattered dress 

the seven dwarfs will not appear 

when you are lost and just need someone near 

 

but here i am, i’ll never disappear  

 

me, the you who can’t tie a shoe 

the blissful innocent, the little dreamer 

here to help you remember 

what you have always known is true 

 

the world is cold, but your heart is warm  

people are bitter, but your soul is sweet 

evil is all around you, but your mind is good 

even when the path is bleak, 

 

i’ll be by your side 

to keep your mind good 

to keep your soul sweet 

to keep your heart warm  

 

you don’t have to hide 

there is nothing to fear 

when my hand holds yours dear 

you’ll remember to wish on shooting stars 

and that the magic i have is not mine, but ours
