And they're glad to tell it to my face
 And they're right I'm not supposed to be here
 I'm completely out of place
 Somehow there has got to be a reason
 Evenings as I try to think it through
 There's a bolt from the blue

 And I see a Shooting Star
 Set apart from all the rest
 While the other stars are standing still
 He's on a quest
 Every night this shooting star
 Darts across the twilight sky
 Cause he knows he doesn't quite fit in
 And he's longing to know why

 I feel so much better when it's night-time
 That's when I can sort of disappear
 When the sun has set in it's the right time
 For pretending I'm not here
 Sometimes I just stare up to the heavens
 Wondering if the answer is inside
 That's when I see the light

 Of myself that shooting star
 On his way to who knows where
 He's the one like all the stars
 He outshines up there
 And the solitary star
 Is an awful lot like me
 On an endless search through time and space
 For a place that won't seem wrong

 If we both hang on for long enough
 If we both somehow are strong enough
 We'll find out where we belong

 Ev'ry night this shooting star
 Darts across the twilight sky
 Cause he knows he doesn't quite fit in
 And he's longing to know why
