LYRICS:

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you!

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do!

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing!

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true!

"When You Wish upon a Star" is a song written by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington for Walt Disney's 1940 adaptation of Pinocchio. The original version was sung by Cliff Edwards in the character of Jiminy Cricket, and is heard over the opening credits and in the final scene of the film. The song has since become the representative song of The Walt Disney Company.

The American Film Institute ranked "When You Wish upon a Star" seventh in their 100 Greatest Songs in Film History, the highest ranked Disney animated film song, and also one of only four Disney animated film songs to appear on the list.

Mickey Mouse Theology:

Mickey Mouse is no theologian. He is a mouse.

But that one mouse informs more people of their worldview than any professional theologian or philosopher.

You see – stuck inside all those catchy songs and memorable movies are all kinds of statements about how the world works, or does not work. And most everyone believes they are true.

But how do you tell the fact from the fiction?

“When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires will come to you.” – Jiminey Crickey. (Pinocchio, 1940)

FALSE – I hate to burst your bubble – but there is no evidence that stars contain any power to either notice you (regardless of who you are) or respond to your heart’s desires.

However, there is a real person who does have the power to help you. Jesus encouraged His followers to seek God as the source of all good things in this life: “How much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:11). - Craig Schill
