When You Wish Upon A Star
Libbie Linton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you wish upon a star
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
Like 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 pulls you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and pulls you through




When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

Overall Meaning

Libbie Linton's song "When You Wish Upon a Star" is a famous song, written in 1940, which speaks to the importance of self-belief and a positive attitude. It opens with the soothing words, "When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are" which suggest that we all have the same chance to achieve our desires in life. This is further supported when the lyrics explain that "anything your heart desires, will come to you." However, the song also advises that in order to reach these goals, it is necessary to have "your heart in your dream" and "no request is too extreme." This suggests that it is important to have a vision, but also work towards it with an open mind and an open heart.
