"TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR"
Two New Verses

Words to Verse 1 by Connie Barlow; to verse 2 unknown (received over internet)

Jane Taylor wrote the original lyrics in 1806, more than a hundred years before scientists began to figure out how stars (including our sun) make light and heat. Feel free to use, copy, distribute, and publish these lyrics however you wish. Permission is granted.

Twinkle twinkle little star
Now we know just what you are
Making atoms in your core
Helium and many more
Twinkle twinkle little star
Now we know just what you are.

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I've wondered what WE are
Now I know you're made of dust
Now I know you're just like us
Twinkle twinkle, oh so far
Now I know I am a star.
