It's a song of hope, for all those who don't realize their worth. We're all stars... but sometimes as we fall, we forget who we are. But God sees through the dirt that stuck to us as we fell, to the star that we are...

I was at my CF (Christian Fellowship) Camp, and we were all standing around waiting to eat, and I saw a glittery silver star on the ground, or maybe it was a heart, or both. But when I saw it, I was so excited; it was so beautiful, and someone had just thrown it there. I picked it up.... and then later, started to write .....

Verse 1:

I found a star in the grass today

Wondered how far it had fallen

The sky above was a long way away

From such an ordinary garden

Oh star... can't you see what you are


Verse 2:

I found a heart in the sand today

It had my name on the side

I remembered that home is a long way away

And a long time ago since I cried

Oh star... can't you see what you are


Chorus:

A person is a star

A child of the light

Yet many a falling star

Have forgotten who they are

So starry star burn bright

Burn with all your might

Shine out your light

Light up the night


Verse 3:

I passed a man just the other day

He was flat on his back on the road

I asked him why, and here's what he said

I fly when I'm high on dope

Oh star.... can't you see what you are


Verse 4:

I passed a girl just the other day

She was living a life without hope

I asked her why, and here's what she said

I'm at the end of my rope

Oh star... can't you see what you are


Bridge:

In a starless sky, the traveler gets lost in the dark

And he cannot find his way back to the start

When you're aiming high, you sometimes fall short of the mark

But when you fail to try, you lose part of your heart...
