Some may dream of being an idol

with others falling at their feet

But making all the world my stage

Just doesn't mean that much to me

Asking anyone who's been there

Doesn't satisfy

And leaves the soul still longing

For what gives meaning in this life.

I wanna be a star

Up somewhere in thee silent sky

Like the one over Bethlehem

That brought the humble and the wise

I want the world to know

The hope thats found in You

I'll shine anywhere you ask me to

I just wanna be a star

Have you evr walked outside

Into the stilness of the night

And looked deep into the heavens

View the brilliance of the light

And wished upon that moment

That you could shine that way

And the called out to the Father

So that He could hear you say:

I wanna be a star

Up somewhere in the silent sky

Like the one over Bethlehem

That brought the humble and the wise

I want the world to know

Your love, and

The hope thats found in You

I'll shine anywhere you ask me to

I just wanna be a star.

I have no glory of my own

For anyone to see

Its simply a reflection

Of your light shining in me

I wanna be a star

Up somewhere in the silent sky

Like the one over Bethlehem

That brought the humble and the wise

I want the world to know (your love)

And the hope thats found in you

I'll shine anywhere you want me to

I just wanna be a star.
