The Meaning Within the Lyrics
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
➡ No matter who you are, your dreams are valid.
It’s not about status or age—it’s about the purity of your heart’s desire.
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star like dreamers do
➡ Dreams aren’t just for the chosen few.
When you dare to dream from the heart, even the impossible becomes possible.
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
➡ Fate isn’t a cold force—it’s gentle.
It rewards those who love, hope, and believe quietly in their dreams.
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
➡ Dreams come true when you least expect it.
Sometimes, miracles arrive like lightning—unexpected, yet perfect.
