Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They possess a gift or two
One of them is this
They have the power to make a wish come true
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
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 dreams come true
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
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 dreams come true
The Dave Brubeck Quartet's song "When You Wish Upon a Star" is a beautiful ode to the power of dreams and the possibility of wishes coming true. The song opens with a reference to the birth of a star, which possesses the gift of making wishes come true. The lyrics argue that it is possible for anyone to make a wish come true by simply wishing upon a star, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
The song goes on to suggest that if the heart is truly invested in the dream, then no request is too extreme. It is the dreamer's unyielding passion and desire that make the impossible possible. The song employs the imagery of a "bolt out of the blue" to represent the sudden appearance of fate in one's life, allowing the dreams to come true.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to believe in the power of wishing and to trust that fate will bring about the fulfillment of their secret longings. It is a poignant message that speaks to the value of perseverance, determination, and hope in the face of adversity.
