A Shining Star

Sometimes the world seems cold and dark — 
As lonesome as the night.
And we're all waiting for a spark — 
A ray of hope and light.
Who will be this beacon
Shining in the night?
You've raised me with the freedom
To stand up for what is right!

[Chorus]
I want to be a shining star,
I want to be your sky.
I've got to make a difference
In my world and in your life.
There's room on heaven's canvas for
A million stars to make their mark;
I want to be a shining star
To change this world's heart.

I call my generation, then:
Come!  Help me take a stand!
Two candles glow more brightly when
We're standing hand in hand.
Who will start the fire?
I'll boldly light the flame.
You've raised me with desire
To hold virtue without shame.

[Repeat chorus]

[Bridge]
Just look around — it has begun!
Join in and be a part.
If your life touched another one
Then that would be a start.
Our light could soon outshine the sun
And brighten every heart.

[Repeat chorus]
