Bryan Adams Lyrics
"Star"

what cha wanna be - when you grow up
what cha gonna do - when your time is up
what cha gonna say - when things go wrong
what cha gonna do - when you're on your own

there's a road... long and winding
the lights are blindin' - but it gets there
don't give up - don't look back
there's a silver linin' - it's out there somewhere

everybody wants an answer - everybody needs a friend
we all need a shinin' star on which we can depend
n' so tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
we never wished upon before
(to find what we're looking for)

there'll be times - in your life
ya when you'll be dancin' n' shit - but you ain't gettin it
but don't get disillusioned - no, don't expect too much
cuz if what you have is all you can get - just keep trying -
it just ain't happened yet

everybody wants to be a winner - everybody has a dream
we all need a shinin' star when things ain't what they seem
so tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
we've never wished upon before
(gotta get where you're headed for)

everybody wants some kindness - everybody needs a break
we all need a shinin' star when things get hard to take
so tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
we've never wished upon before
