What is a star?
Something that shines out in the night
while you're looking up
thinking about and hoping for light
what is a star?

something that shows you you're not alone
not alone
your words and your thoughts
are just energy that shone
for a moment
for someone
sometimes

what is a star?
we all are

we all shine into the night
with a light that refuses to be
refused.

what is a star?
we all are.

keep looking up.
there's a star looking back at you

what is a star
we all are.

1. Everybody Is A Star
Sly & The Family Stone

Everybody is a star
Who can rain, chase the dust away
Everybody wants to shine
Ooh, come out on a cloudy day
'Til the sun that loves you proud
When the system tries to bring you down
Every hand to shine tonight
You don't need darkness to do what you think is right

Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Everybody is a star
I can feel it when you shine on me
I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be
Ever catch a falling star
Ain't no stopping 'til it's in the ground
Everybody is a star
One big circle going round and round

Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, shine, shine, shine, shine

(repeat and fade)

3. When I was younger, I went through about 12 Sly & The Family Stone
Greatest Hits cassettes (part of that was because they had a lot of songs and the tape was therefore thinner than most). Great album though.
