So Many Stars
Monheit Jane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many dreams which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which dream of all the dreams
When there's a dream for every star
And there are oh so many stars
So many stars
So many songs which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are oh so many stars, so many stars
Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh
So many stars, so many stars
Yes, the wind is filled with songs, so many songs
Which one is mine, one must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are, oh, so many stars, so many stars
Yes, the wind is filled with songs, so many songs
Which one is mine, one must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are, oh, so many stars, so many stars
Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh, so many stars
So many stars...so many stars... oh, so many stars
The song "So Many Stars" by Jane Monheit explores the meaning of life through a metaphor of dreams and stars. The song opens with the line, "The dawn is filled with dreams, so many dreams, which one is mine?" This line sets the tone for the rest of the song by questioning one's purpose and meaning in life. The singer is searching for her own dream, the one that is right for her, out of countless other dreams.
The lyrics then shift to the idea of the wind being filled with songs, which creates a sense of infinite possibilities for the singer. She is searching for her own song, one that is unique to her, out of a vast array of songs that exist in the world. This creates a sense of overwhelming uncertainty and confusion about how to choose the right path in life.
The repetition of the phrase "So many stars" in the chorus emphasizes the vastness of the world and the endless possibilities that exist. The uncertainty about which dream or song to choose is reflected in the lines, "Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell, how will I know, out of oh so many stars." This sense of uncertainty and the quest for meaning and purpose is a common theme in many songs and works of literature.
