When You Wish Upon A Star, makes no difference who you are,
Anything your heart desires will come to you.
If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme,
When You Wish Upon A Star as dreamers do.
Fate is kind, She brings to those who love,
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing.
Like a bolt out of the blue, Fate steps in and sees you through,
When You Wish Upon A Star your dreams come true.
