Waking Up The Stars Lyrics

As I’m waking up the stars I’m wondering
How it might me gleaming, standing on my toes.
Rocking on my heels, reaching for the light beans.

All my soul goes climbing into,
Places I’ll never go, impossible to know
As I’m wondering once more.

Children wait, children wait.
As I’m reaching for my dreams I’m wondering
How it might be feeling floating towards the ceiling
No gravity too still, flying over fields

And all my soul goes round and down, too
Things I’ll never see reveal themselves to me
As I’m wondering once more.

Children wait, children wait.

As I’m waking up the stars I’m wondering
How they might be feeling sitting close to ceiling
As I’m wondering once more

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
