"Shining Star"

Yeah, hey, hey

When you wish upon a star

Your dreams will take you very far, yeah

But when you wish upon a dream

Life ain't always what it seems, oh yeah

What you see on nights so clear, hey

In the sky so very dear, yeah?

You're a shining star

No matter who you are

Shining bright to see

What you could truly be

(What you could truly be)

Shining star come into view

To shine its watchful light on you

Give you strength to Perry oh yeah

Yeah, make your body big and strong, yeah

Born a man-child of the sun, yeah

Yeah, saw my work had just begun

Yeah, found I had to stand alone, yeah

Bless it now, I've got my oh no

Oh yeah, oh yeah

So, if you find yourself in need

Why don't you listen to these words of heed

Be a giant or grain of sand

Words of wisdom, yes, I can

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

You're a shining star

No matter who you are

Shining bright to see

What you could 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
