There is nothing special about me -

I am just a little star...
If it seems like I’m shining, it’s probably
a reflection of something you already are.
I forget about myself sometimes,
when there’re so many others around,
When deep inside it feels the darkest -
That is where I can always be found.

Just keep trying & trying,
It’s just a matter of timing,
Though the grinding is tiring,
Don’t let it stop you from smiling.
Just keep trying & trying,
Sooner or later you’ll find it.
It’s surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining,
'Cause in the dark of night you're all i can see,
and you sure look like a star to me...

There is nothing special about me,
I am just a lil' star.
If you try to reach out and touch me,
you'll see that I'm not really that far.
Oh, I may not be the brightest,
Nor am I the last one you see,
But as long as you notice,
That’s just fine with me,
Everything just fine with me...

There is nothing special about me,
I am just a lil' star,
I’m a running and jumpin’,
But barely getting, getting over the bar.
I may not be much more than that,
And but that's in good time,
But until then i'm guilty
And bein' human's my crime,
Just being human, that is my crime...
