Star
David McNair Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was written in the stars
What was written in the stars shall be
It was written in the skies
That the heart and not the eyes shall see

And so whether it bring joy
Whether it bring woe
It shall be done

Now suddenly I know
You are the one

Here as in a daydream
By my side you stand
Here with my tomorrows
In your hands

It was written high above
That I have to have your love
Or I'll never be free
And cloudy though the day be
Crazy though I may be
What the stars foretold shall be

Here as in a daydream
By my side you stand
Here with my tomorrows
In your hands

It was written high above
That I have to have your love
Or I'll never be free
And cloudy though the day be
Crazy though I may be
What the stars foretold shall be

And so shall it be

Line by Line Meaning

It was written in the stars
It was destined to happen

What was written in the stars shall be
Fate cannot be changed

It was written in the skies
Love can only be felt, not seen

That the heart and not the eyes shall see
True love is not based on appearances

And so whether it bring joy
Regardless of the emotions it brings

Whether it bring woe
Whether it brings sadness

It shall be done
It is inevitable

Now suddenly I know
I have discovered

You are the one
You are my true love

Here as in a daydream
Feels unreal or surreal

By my side you stand
You are always with me
