Shining Star
Brian Bromberg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you wish upon a star
Your dreams will take you very far
But when you wish upon a dream
Life ain't always what it seems
What'd you see on a night so clear
In the sky so very dear

You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be

Shining star come in to view
Shine its watchful light on you
Give you strength to carry on
Make your body big and strong
Born a man child of the sun
Saw your work had just begun

Found I had to stand alone
Bless it now I've got my own
So, if you find yourself in need
Why don't you listen to these words and heed
Be you giant or grain of sand
Words of wisdom are ?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
