Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
I wanna feel it, huh, I wanna feel that
I wanna feel it, yeah, I
I want to feel it, I want to feel that
I want to feel it, alright
[Verse 1]
When you wish upon a star, hey
Dreams will take you very far, now, oh yeah
When you wish upon a dream, yeah
Life ain't always what it seems, oh yeah
[PreChorus]
What you see on nights so clear now?
In the sky so very dear, yeah
[Chorus]
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be, what you could truly be, hey
[Instrumental]
Shining star comes into view, alright
Shine its watchful light on you, yeah
Give you strength to carry on, yeah
And make your body big and strong, hear me now
Born a man-child of the sun, well
Saw my work had just begun, yes it did, yeah
Found I had to stand alone, yeah
Well, bless it now I've got my own, oh yeah, oh yeah
So if you find yourself in need
Say, why don't you listen to these words of heed? Yeah, why don't ya listen?
Be a giant or grain of sand
Words of wisdom, yes, I can, alright y'all
[Chorus]
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
[Refrain]
Shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
[Instrumental]
Born a man-child of the sun, oh, yeah, huh
Saw my work had just begun, yeah, hey
Found I had to stand alone, yeah
Well, bless it now I've got my own, oh yeah, oh yeah
So if you find yourself in need
Why don't you listen to these words of heed? Yeah
Be a giant or grain of sand
Words of wisdom, yes, I can
[Refrain]
Shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
[Outro]
Shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
You a shining star for you to see (C'mon) what your life can truly be
Shining star
What your life
Shining star
What your life
Shining star
What your life
Shining star
What your life
