Hercules
Boyzone Lyrics

No one seems to think too much of me here
People around me don't appreciate or value me as a person

and they're glad to tell it to my face
They openly express their disregard for me to my face

And though I am not suppose to be here
I feel like I don't belong here, like an outsider

I'm completely out of place
I don't fit in with the people or environment around me

Somehow there has got to be a reason
I hope there is a purpose or explanation for my existence and my struggles

even as I try to think it through
Despite my attempts to understand, it's still unclear

There's a bold from the blue
Suddenly, unexpectedly, something catches my attention

And I see a shooting star (And I see a star)
I witness a shooting star crossing the sky

Set apart from all the rest
Distinct from other stars, unique and exceptional

While the other stars are standing still (ooh)
Unlike the other seemingly stationary stars, this one is on a journey

He's on a quest
The shooting star is on a search for something unknown

Every night this shooting star (Every night this star)
Consistently, every night, I observe this shooting star

Dancing across the twilight sky
It moves elegantly, with grace, against the backdrop of the evening sky

Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in (ooh)
Similar to me, the star also feels like it doesn't belong

and he's longing to know why, why (longing to know why)
The star, like me, is searching for answers, yearning to understand its purpose

I feel so much better when it's night-time
I find comfort in the darkness, where I can blend in and hide

That's when I can sort of disappear
I can fade into the background and avoid being noticed during the night

When the sun is set and it's the right time
Once the day is over and night sets in, it feels like the right time for me to retreat

for pretending I'm not here
I can pretend to not exist, to detach myself from reality

Sometimes I just start into the heavens
Occasionally I gaze up at the sky

Wondering if the answer is inside
I contemplate whether the answer to my questions lies within me

That's when I see the light
The moment I see the shooting star light up the sky

Of my sent that shooting star
The light of the shooting star captures my attention

On his way to who know's where (On his way to who know's where)
The star is heading somewhere unknown, without a clear destination

He's a one like all the stars (ooh)
The star is one of many, yet still unique and special

But he outshines out there (shines out there)
However, it shines brighter than any other star out there

And the solitary star (solitary star)
The shooting star is alone, just like me

Is an awful lot like me (ooh)
I can relate to the shooting star's loneliness and search for meaning

On an endless search through time and space
We are both wandering through life, trying to find our place in the world

Far a place that won't seem wrong (place that won't seem wrong)
We're looking for a place where we fit in, where we belong and don't feel like outsiders

If we both hang on for long enough
If we persist and don't give up, despite our struggles and hardships

we both somehow are strong enough
We can become stronger and more resilient as individuals

We'll find out were we belong
Eventually, we'll discover our true purpose and where we fit in

Know why (why)
Understand the reason behind our struggles

Why (why)
Questioning our existence, our purpose

Why (why)
Continuing to seek answers

Know why (why) (to fade)
Eventually coming to an understanding of our place in the world
