I found a pebble that looked like the moon

Carried it home in the afternoon

Whispered my secrets to its rough stone skin

Hoping it would glow

Hoping it would spin

Pocket full of stardust

Dreams in my hands

Scattered like confetti over shifting sands

Catch a falling star

Watch it burn

Watch it fade

Pocket full of stardust

But it won’t stay

I saw a bird with feathers like flames

It sang a tune but forgot my name

Chased it through the clouds

Fell into the blue

Lost my way back

But found something new

What’s here today

Tomorrow might leave

Hold it too tight

And it slips through the weave

Pocket full of stardust

Dreams in my hands

Scattered like confetti over shifting sands

Catch a falling star

Watch it burn

Watch it fade

Pocket full of stardust

But it won’t stay

Oh the stars don’t belong to me

They’re just visitors passing free

I’ll hold them lightly

Let them go

And keep the shimmer in my soul
