Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A star is born
It's a time for pulling out the stops
A star is born
Honey, hit us with a hallelu'
The kid came shining through
Girl, sing the song
Come blow your horn
He's a hero who can please the crowd
A star is born
Come on everybody shout out loud
A star is born
Just remember in the darkest hour
Within your heart's the power
For making you
A hero too
So don't lose hope when you're forlorn
Just keep your eyes upon the skies
Every night a star is
Right in sight a star is
Burning bright a star is born
Like a beacon in the cold dark night
A star is born
Told ya everything would turn out right
A star is born
Just when everything was all at sea
The boy made history
The bottom line
He sure can shine
His rising sign is
Capricorn
He knew "how to"
He had a clue
Telling you a star is born
Here's a hero who can please the crowd
A star is born
Come on everybody shout out loud
A star is born
Just remember in the darkest hour
Within your heart's the power
For making you
A hero too
So don't lose hope when you're forlorn
Just keep your eyes upon the skies
Every night a star is
Right in sight a star is
Burning bright a star is born

I enjoyed this a lot ! Very good ! It doesn´t matter, what skin-colour you have.
If you fill this song with emotions and a solid technique, you can´t go wrong with that :-) .

God this song was a perfect way to end this film. It's an even better way to end if you imagine it playing for the actual mythological Hercules, after a long life full of strife and deeply unfair punishments, to be made into a constellation with this jubilant song accompanying, celebrating the event... Awesome.
