Sail out on the ocean of life
Of love and of wisdom
Be generous to the giving sun
and be modest towards the beams of the moon
Be calm admist the pull of the tides
and be friends with, and be dear to the stars
Do not complete with them
For they make us shine from above
See, I'm not a star
I'm just me
That is all I want to be
You are the star
That I believe
Cause I can feel you
In me...
Figures why
I had to let you go
You are so far away
I wonder if I will ever see you again
Give me sign, my friend
That you are still here
Inside of me this time
Setting me free, guiding light
See, I'm not a star
I'm just me
And that is all I want to be
You are the star
That I believe
'Cause I can feel you
In me...
A little boy once said, Star, you're much too far!¡±
I can never touch you, never know what you are¡±
The brightest star then answered
Boy, I'm in your heart!¡±
Cause you can always feel me,
we will never part!¡±
'Cause I'm not a star
I'm just me
And that is all I want to be
You are the star!
That I always believe
'Cause I can feel you'
'Cause I can, I can feel you
In me...
