Shooting Star
Poison Lyrics

A small town girl with big time dreams
A girl from a small town who dreams of making it big in the world

But nothing's ever as it seems
Things are never as easy or straightforward as they appear to be

A mother waves her girl goodbye
The girl's mother bids her daughter farewell

Then slowly hangs her head and cries
The mother is sad and emotional about her daughter leaving

Hollywood hills and the big city lights
The bright lights of Hollywood and the big city attract the girl

Outside her window they burn bright
She can see the bright lights from her room

Someday the world will praise her fame
The girl hopes to become famous and loved by the world someday

They'll know her face they'll shout her name
People will recognize her face and call out her name

They'll shout it real loud
People will cheer and make her presence known

She'll make her mama real proud
The girl will make her mother proud of her accomplishments

She'll stand above the crowd
She will be noticed and stand out from the others

I am someone
The girl thinks of herself as someone who matters

Look what I've done
She is proud of what she has accomplished so far

Stare into the sun
She is determined to keep moving forward and reach greater heights

I am a shooting star
She sees herself as a star on the rise

She looks down at the stars, lying on the streets
The girl looks at the stars on the pavement and imagines that she will become bigger and brighter than them

Says to herself 'that will be me'
She tells herself that she will one day become a star like the ones on the pavement

A big time dream, a small town mind
She has big dreams but comes from a small town

Searching for a break, she may never find
She is looking for an opportunity to make it big, but it may not come her way

Streets of gold, they turned to grey
The bright and shiny city has lost its appeal and become dull

Just one more chance, just one more day
She hopes for another opportunity to succeed

She swears they'll never fall from grace
She promises herself that she will not lose her fame and reputation

She stands out on the streets in the pouring rain
The girl is shown standing on the street in the rain, which could represent the obstacles she has to face to achieve her dreams

Strangers walk by they don't know her name
People walk by her without recognizing her or knowing who she is

As the silver screen slowly fades to black
Her dreams of being a movie star could be fading away

She'll never give in, she can never go back
Despite the challenges, she will never give up and return home

Someday you'll see me
She believes that one day she will become famous and everyone will know her

Don't you need me
She asks if people will need her once she becomes famous

Everybody will believe me
She predicts that everyone will believe in her once she becomes famous

I will stand strong
She will be resilient and persistent in the face of obstacles

I will hold on
She will not give up and will hold onto her dreams

It's not my last song
She still has more to accomplish and achieve in her life
