When You Wish Upon A Star
Sarah Diaz 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
As a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and pulls you through




When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true

Overall Meaning

Sarah Diaz's song When You Wish Upon A Star is a modern interpretation of the classic song written by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington for the Disney film Pinocchio. The song is a hopeful and optimistic message that anyone can achieve their deepest desires if they truly believe in them. The lyrics suggest that the power of the universe can manifest anything you want if you just put your heart and soul into your dreams. It speaks to the importance of motivation and persistence, encouraging listeners to never give up on their aspirations, no matter how far out of reach they may seem.


The words in the second stanza are especially powerful, conveying the idea that fate looks kindly on those who love and that our innermost desires can be fulfilled by an unexpected twist of fortune. The underlying message is that life is full of surprises and opportunities, and when you wish upon a star, the universe conspires to make your life better. The idea of fate stepping in and pulling you through is a reminder that when you have faith in your dreams, you can never truly fail.
