Verse 1
A boy at the window, counting streaks of rain and stars,
Whispers to a distant beacon, “Would you keep my secret?
If grown-up eyes should judge the love I dream tonight,
Let this little wish burn quiet, till dawn gives me a light.”
Pre-Chorus
The night hums like a dim choir, soft and low,
A compass pulled toward the unknown where brave boys grow.
Chorus
This wish is a shadow flame, a risk dressed in velvety gold,
If they knew the truth inside, would they dare to be so bold?
I wear a map of the Milkey Way where futures might unfold,
A star-lit wish of what may be, when I am brave and bold.
Verse 2 (dream sequence, grown-up love)
In sleep he’s older, streets glow copper, rain of chrome,
Two men walk through corridors of light they call their home.
A touch becomes a sunrise, a steady, bright flame,
Their hands find each other’s embrace, their wish, one and the same.
Pre-Chorus
The cosmos writes in braids of dawn, a patient desire,
That love can be a compass if you learn to trust your fire.
Chorus
This wish is a shadow flame, a risk dressed in velvet gold,
If they knew the truth inside, would they dare to be so bold?
I wear a map of the Milkey Way where futures might unfold,
A star-lit wish of what may be, when I am brave and bold.
Bridge
How would the world allow what time itself would prove?
Maybe it starts with a single breath that steadies love.
Two hearts in a quiet orbit, circling what’s true,
Where last night’s dream becomes a question, not a clue.
Final Chorus / Outro
Let the stars keep secrets in their ancient, patient light,
If tomorrow asks us how, we’ll find a way to write it right.
Until then, the night remains a doorway, softly told,
A star-lit wish, waiting for the day we’re bold.
