She was a little blond girl with a twinkle in her eye
The world is full of opportunities as she looked into the sky
Dreaming of her life and what she would become
The day she would marry, when she’d be in love
High School came and she couldn’t help but think
My life is just beginning as she turned to her best friend and winked
The world is out there waiting for me to reach my star
I know that I’ll be someone I’m bound to go real far
College is all she expected and harder just the same
She met a nice man and Steven was his name
Her studies keep her busy a doctor she will be
After a romantic evening Steven went down on one knee
The wedding came and she couldn’t help but think
My life is just beginning as she turned to her husband and winked
The world is out there waiting for me to reach my star
I know that I’ll be someone I’m bound to go real far
One year later Steven held a baby in his arms
Sarah was her name and she couldn’t do any harm
She looked just like her mother who she would never know
There were complications in delivery Steven had to let her go
The funeral came and Steven couldn’t help but think
Your life is just beginning as he turned to Sarah and winked
The world is out there waiting, for you to reach your star
I know that you’ll be someone you’re bound to go real far
Several years later, Sarah’s quite the young lady
Standing there waiting to receive her doctorate degree
Mother can you see me as she looks into the sky
I’m the doctor you wanted to be as a tear dropped from her eye
The graduation ended and Steven couldn’t help but think
Sarah’s life is just beginning as he turned to her and winked
Her mother really did it; she reached her one bright star
For she helped create someone special who is bound to go real far
