Shooting Star
Barbie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you don't know where to go
And you're feeling all alone
Look inside yourself
You're so much more than you know

When you're stuck and out of time
You can cross the finish line
You're a champion
You'll always be a winner

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, whoa

You can be anything you want
If you believe in who you are
You'll light up the whole world
You're shining so bright

Anything is possible
When you look into your heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You're a shooting star

When I'm down and feeling scared
I know I should take a chance
The world is sitting right here
In the palm of my hands

I'm flying higher than before
And giving up is not a choice
I'll push the doubt aside
And step into the spotlight

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh

I can be anything I dream
Live a life that's made for me
I'll light up the whole world
I'll be shining so bright

Anything is possible
When I look into my heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm a shooting star

Oh, oh
I'm a shooting star




Oh, oh
I'm a shooting star
