Everybody is a star Who could rain and chase the dust away Everybody wants to shine Who would come out on a cloudy day 'Til the sun that loves you 'round When the system tries to bring you down Never had to shine at night You don't need darkness to do what you think is right 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 moving 'round and 'round Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine Come on and shine, everybody shine Shine, shine, shine, shine Shine Come on and shine, everybody shine
