  • There is nothing special about me
    I am just a lil star
    If it seems like I'm shining it's probably
    A reflection of something you already are

    I forget about myself sometimes
    When there's so many others around
    When deep inside you feels the darkest
    That is where I can always be found
    That is where I can always be found
    That is where I can always be found

    Just keep trying and trying
    It's just a matter of timing
    Though the grinding is tiring
    Don't let it stop you from smiling

    Just keep trying and trying
    Sooner or later you'll find it
    It's surprising how inspiring
    It is to see you shining

    ?Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see
    And you sure look like a star to me

    There is nothing special about me
    I am just a lil star
    If you try to reach out and touch me
    You'll see that I'm not really that far

    Oh, I may not be the brightest
    Nor am I the last one you'll see
    But as long as you notice
    That's just fine with me
    Everything's just fine with me
    Everything's just fine with me

    Just keep trying and trying
    It's just a matter of timing
    Though the grinding is tiring
    Don't let it stop you from smiling

    Just keep trying and trying
    Sooner or later you'll find it
    It's surprising how inspiring
    It is to see you shining

    ?Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see
    And you sure look like a star to me

    There is nothing special about me
    I am just a lil star
    I'm running and jumpin'
    But barely gettin', gettin' over the bar

    I plan on being much more than that
    And but that's in due time
    But until then I'm guilty
    And being human's my crime
    Just being human that is my crime
    Being human that is my crime

    Just keep trying and trying
    It's just a matter of timing
    Though the grinding is tiring
    Don't let it stop you from smiling

    Just keep trying and trying
    Sooner or later you'll find it
    It's surprising how inspiring
    It is to see you shining

    ?Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see
    And you sure look like a star to me
