Some may dream of being an idol With others falling at their feet But making all the world my stage Just doesn't mean that much to me Ask anyone who's been there It doesn't satisfy And leaves the soul still longing For what gives meaning in this life I wanna be a star I'm somewhere in the silent sky Like the one over Bethlehem That brought the humble and the wise I want the world to know the love And the hope that's found in You I'll shine anywhere you ask me to I just wanna be a star Have you ever walked outside Into the stillness of the night And looked deep into the heavens View the brilliance of the light 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 wanna be a star I'm somewhere in the 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 wanna 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 wanna be a star I'm somewhere in the 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 wanna be a star
