I've been listening to tons of Disney music lately, but I've really been stuck on 'When you wish upon a star' from Pinocchio. When I listen to music over and over, I start analyzing the lyrics and thinking about all of the possible real life scenarios and interpretations.
The lyrics are as followed.
"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 dream comes true"
Listening to it over and over again, I come to appreciate it as a universally uniting song. Change the lyrics to adapt to your own life, and you can sing the song with your own story.
Example: The typical Teenager.
When you wish upon a star
I could get a brand car
Anything my heart desires
Should come true.
Example 2: Your typical terrorist
When you wish upon a star
I could start a nuclear war
Anything my heart desires
Will come true.
Example 3: Your angry farmer
When you wish upon a star
My neighbor will be covered in tar
Anything my heart desires
Will come true.
As demonstrated, the lyrics can be adapted to be 'anything the heart desires.'
It's good that this stuff isn't for reals though.
That'd be a disaster.
But it's good to have a lil dreamer in all of us
