To shine like the star that you are

Shine like the star that you are
Simply be yourself if nothing else
Keep on searching you'll find a way

To shine like the star that you are
You don't have to be the show
To shine like the star that you are
You don't have to be rich or poor

Simply be yourself if nothing else
Keep on singing you'll get your pay
