Some may dream of being an idol
With others falling at their feet
But making all the world my stage
Doesn't mean that much to me
Just ask anyone who's been there
It doesn't satisfy
It leaves a soul just longing
For what gives meaning in this life
I want to be a star
Hung somewhere in a silent sky
Like the one over Bethlehem
That brought the humble and the wise
I want the world to know Your love
And the hope that's found in You
I'll shine anywhere You ask me to
I just want to be a star
Have you ever walked outside
Into the stillness of the night
And looked deep into the heavens
To view the brilliance of the lights
And wished upon that moment
That you could shine that way
Even called out to the father
So that He could hear you say
I want to be a star
Hung somewhere in a silent sky
Like the one over Bethlehem
That brought the humble and the wise
I want the world to know Your love
And the hope that's found in You
I'll shine anywhere You ask me to
I just want to be a star
I have no glory of my own
For anyone to see
It's simply a reflection of
Your light that shines in me
I want the world to know Your love
And the hope that's found in You
I'll shine anywhere You ask me to
I just want to be a star
