Sentry Stars
Listen to Jacoby read their poem ...
Have you ever wondered,
As you look up to the sky,
Why there are so many stars,
Twinkling way up high.
There is one for every child,
Who walks upon this earth,
A secret shining companion,
To remind you of your worth.
Each star is a guardian,
Shimmering in the night,
They will grant you special wishes,
And bask you in their light.
Even on the stormy nights,
When hope appears to be forbidden,
Remember that they are still there,
Just behind the clouds they're hidden.
So do not be afraid my darling,
of the shadows that creep,
For the stars are guarding your dreams tonight,
whilst you are fast asleep.
As you look up to the sky,
Why there are so many stars,
Twinkling way up high.
There is one for every child,
Who walks upon this earth,
A secret shining companion,
To remind you of your worth.
Each star is a guardian,
Shimmering in the night,
They will grant you special wishes,
And bask you in their light.
Even on the stormy nights,
When hope appears to be forbidden,
Remember that they are still there,
Just behind the clouds they're hidden.
So do not be afraid my darling,
of the shadows that creep,
For the stars are guarding your dreams tonight,
whilst you are fast asleep.
