Lyrics

By dean friedman

Looking down on the earth's crust, watching the last sunset
Just a sprinkling of stardust, orange and violet
And to the east in the autumn sky, blinking on and off like a firefly
Sailing south in silence like a supersonic spy…

Wishing on a satellite. wishing on a satellite
I wish I may I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight

Heavenly bodies hurtling through space
Orbiting oddities guarding the human race
Silver sentries of the stratosphere, trying to keep the peace on the new frontier
Pray for their success or we'll all disappear

Wishing on a satellite. wishing on a satellite
I wish I may I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight

Platinum prophets circling the earth
And the light bouncing off it announces a savior's birth
Now's the time for a moratorium, 'cause who can say for sure if the messiah will ever come
And we could be bathed in darkness for the next millennium

Wishing on a satellite. wishing on a satellite
I wish I may I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight
