That Star (Live Version)

from Famous People's Songs by Michael Averill

/

lyrics

When a star is born
The only thing it knows is how to shine
And all it ever desires
Is to find a place among the others to share its light

And as that star grows older
It strives to be brighter and bolder
Maybe one day it'll join a constellation
And be a part of galactic civilization

But sometimes celestial pressure's too much
It can cause a star to fall
Lose orbit and all its trust
It slips into the darkness
And gets cold when it's had enough
And that star starts thinkin' of giving up

Well the gravity of loneliness pulls heavy
An event horizon no light can escape
The furthest stars are the ones trying hardest to be seen
And with a final flare that star spends the last of its energy

So next time you see a star burnin' low
Next time you see a star driftin' off in space alone
Let it know
That it still shines
Make it known
That it has space to share its light
And that it has a place among the others in the sky

Let it know it shines
Let it know it shines
Let it know it shines
Let it know it shines
