Yep, it's B5
Yep, let's go
Yeah, come on

When you wish upon a star (when you wish upon a star)
Your dreams will take you very far, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
When you wish upon a dream (when you wish upon a dream)
Life ain't always what it seems, oh yeah

Yeah, come on
Once you see your light so clear
Yeah, come on
In the sky so very dear, oh

Bring it back
You're a shining star no matter who you are
Shining bright to see what you can truly be
Truly be

Get it, get it

Shining star come into view
Shine its watchful light on you, yeah
Gives you strength to carry on
And make my body big and strong

On an adventure to the sun

That's it now, I got my own, yeah

So if you find yourself in need
Why don't you listen to these words of heat?
Be a child, you're free of sin
Be some place, oh, yes I can

You're a shining star (uh, yeah) no matter who you are
Shining bright to see what you can truly be, 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

That Snorlax you just called fat? Yeah, it's eating Rare Candies by the DOZEN for you to accept it. That Ghastly you just called ugly? It's been trying to learn a new move to replace its mean look. That slowpoke you just tripped? He has a learning disability that makes him have a learning disability. That Hitmonchan with the scars? He fought in Vietnam for your freedoms today. If you're against Pokebullying, help save a pokemon and make a visit to the Pokecenter.
