A Dream, A Train And The Stars

My Fansong for the young Himeko. Inspired by her story from Honkai Star Rail and a childish wish traveling to the stars =) A dreamy pop-ballad themed about a little girls dream. Mood: Fantasy knows no limits; except those imposed by your own imagination. AI Art of young Himeko with the Astral Express Enjoy =) Lyrics: [Intro] Little wheels across the floor, Past the window, past the door. One small whistle, soft and bright, Carries me beyond the night. [Verse 1] I draw a railway through the room, Around the chairs and paper moons. The ceiling lights become a sky, And every lamp a world nearby. They tell me stars are far away, Too high to reach, too cold to stay. But distance is a word they use For roads they are afraid to choose. [Pre-Chorus] So I will build a path from wishes, Silver lines through painted blue. And when the smallest engine calls me, I will know the dream came true. [Chorus] A dream, a train, and the stars, A little world held in my arms. I push it past the edge of night And watch its windows come alive. One day these tiny wheels will run Beyond the moon, beyond the sun. And I will ride where wonders are A dream, a train, and the stars. [Verse 2] I name the places no one knows, Where crystal rain and starlight grow. I leave a seat beside my own For every heart without a home. Perhaps the sky is only glass, Perhaps no child was meant to pass. Then I will dream a larger door And find what lies beyond it all. [Pre-Chorus] For every world begins in silence, As a picture no one sees. A fragile hope becomes a compass, And imagination finds the key. [Chorus] A dream, a train, and the stars, A little world held in my arms. I push it past the edge of night And watch its windows come alive. One day these tiny wheels will run Beyond the moon, beyond the sun. And I will ride where wonders are A dream, a train, and the stars. [Bridge] Maybe dreams are not illusions. Maybe they are plans unborn. Maybe every distant future Starts where childish worlds are drawn. So let them laugh at cardboard planets, Let them call my railway small. There are galaxies inside it I can hear their distant call. And if the road is lost or broken, I will mend it piece by piece. For the train that waits within me Will not rust beneath my dreams. [Soft Melodic Refrain] Little wheels across the floor, I am not pretending anymore. [Final Chorus] A dream, a train, and the stars The little world outgrew my arms. The painted lights became the night, The tiny windows burned so bright. Now silver rails beneath me run Beyond the moon, beyond the sun. The sky unfolds, the heavens part A dream, a train, and the stars. A wish once whispered in a room Now crosses every distant moon. And somewhere in the child I was, The little engine still moves on. [Outro] Little wheels among the stars, Still carrying the child we are. No dream is ever truly far A dream… A train… And all the stars. #himeko #honkaistarrail #ballad #pop
