There is nothing special about me I am just a lil star If it seems like I'm shining it's probably A reflection of something you already are I forget about myself sometimes When there's so many others around When deep inside you feels the darkest That is where I can always be found That is where I can always be found That is where I can always be found Just keep trying and trying It's just a matter of timing Though the grinding is tiring Don't let it stop you from smiling Just keep trying and trying Sooner or later you'll find it It's surprising how inspiring It is to see you shining ?Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see And you sure look like a star to me There is nothing special about me I am just a lil star If you try to reach out and touch me You'll see that I'm not really that far Oh, I may not be the brightest Nor am I the last one you'll see But as long as you notice That's just fine with me Everything's just fine with me Everything's just fine with me Just keep trying and trying It's just a matter of timing Though the grinding is tiring Don't let it stop you from smiling Just keep trying and trying Sooner or later you'll find it It's surprising how inspiring It is to see you shining ?Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see And you sure look like a star to me There is nothing special about me I am just a lil star I'm running and jumpin' But barely gettin', gettin' over the bar I plan on being much more than that And but that's in due time But until then I'm guilty And being human's my crime Just being human that is my crime Being human that is my crime Just keep trying and trying It's just a matter of timing Though the grinding is tiring Don't let it stop you from smiling Just keep trying and trying Sooner or later you'll find it It's surprising how inspiring It is to see you shining ?Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see And you sure look like a star to me
