But I want to be a star in the sky

But I would like to be a star in the sky, ; To shine in the sky at midnight. ; I would like to see who is up in the village, ; Whom my lover is hugging at the gate. ; ; But I would like to be a tree in the forest, ; If someone would take it home to burn. ; I would heal the frail world, ; In which I cannot find a lover.
