I've got stars in my great big sky
I shall gaze upon without leaving small ones behind
Because they're harder to find
This could be referring to all the bands out there with him right now. There are many, some are big and some are small, but he’ll stick behind the small ones because they’re harder to find.
Some were satellites, others planes
Some were twinkling while other were fadin' away
But they're all one-of-a-kind
Some were floating, while some soared, and some were just getting, or in the middle of their limelight, while others were fading out. But they’re all great in their own way.
It's not that interesting
But I'd like to keep it a secret
So I'll have something left to give
Maybe this is referring to all of the songs he’s written, yet haven’t been released. He’d like to have something left to share with everyone in the future.
It's not that difficult
When you've got a luck of this kind
We've gotta take advantage
We've got such limited time
Could be referring to how lucky he feels to be on a label with people he loves and able to produce the music he wants to produce. But they’ve got to hurry and make it before it’s too late.
Oh, I wonder
Oh, I wonder how long it'll take me to die
It's not that interesting
But I'd like to keep it a secret
So I'll have something left to give
Could be referring to how he wonders how long it’ll be before no one listens to them anymore.
I also have a similar take on the song.

And I'll hear my children and grandchildren sing
Could refer to future generations of music.
