When You Wish Upon A Star
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
If your heart is in your dreams
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true, ooh-ooh
The song "When You Wish Upon a Star" is a timeless classic that has become synonymous with Disney. The song appears in the 1940 animated film, Pinocchio, and was written by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington, and sung by Jiminy Cricket. The song opens with the beautiful verse "When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires will come to you" The song speaks to the idea that no matter who we are or where we come from, we all have dreams and desires that we wish to see fulfilled. The song encourages us to hold on to our dreams, as they can come true if we wish upon a star. It suggests that if we truly believe in our dreams and work hard towards them, they will eventually become a reality.
The second verse "If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme, when you wish upon a star, as dreamers do" emphasizes the importance of believing in our dreams and desires, even if they seem impossible. It suggests that our hearts hold the key to achieving our dreams and that we should be fearless in pursuing them. The third verse "Fate is kind, she brings to those who love, the sweet fulfillment of their secret longing" affirms that fate is kind to those who have a strong passion for their dreams and believe that they can come true. The last verse "Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you through, when you wish upon a star, your dream comes true" suggests that our dreams can come true unexpectedly and that we should always be ready to seize the opportunities that come our way.
