Shooting Star

1. No one seems to think too much of me here
And they're glad to tell it to my face
And though I am not suppose to be here
I'm completely out of place.

Somehow there has got to be a reason
Even as I try to think it through
There's a bold from the blue.

[Chorus 1:]
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
Dancing across the twilight sky
Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in
And he's longing to know why, why.

2. I feel so much better when it's night-time
That's when I can sort of disappear
When the sun is set and it's the right time
For pretending I'm not here.

Sometimes I just start into the heavens
Wondering if the answer is inside
That's when I see the light.

[Chorus 2:]
Of my sent that shooting star
On his way to who know's where
He's a one like all the stars
But he outshines out there
And the solitary star
Is an awful lot like me
On an endless search through time and space
Far a place that won't seem wrong.

[Bridge:]
If we both hang on for long enough
We both somehow are strong enough
We'll find out were we belong.
