You don’t need stages
Or a made-up name
You don’t need fashion
Lights, camera, actin
You don’t need fans
Or a 3-piece band
Don’t let someone tell you
You need more than you

You you you you’re a star
And you shine shine shine in the dark
The way way way that you are
You were made made made for the part
You don’t gotta be anything else
If you just keep on being yourself
You you you you’re a star
And you shine shine shine in the dark

You’re one in 8 billion
The only one of your kind
A diamond so brilliant
No curtains could hide
Life is a movie
The greatest one made
A show you’re the heart of
So don’t hesitate
