Shine Like The Stars

The autumn leaves are falling as the tears roll down my face

I didn't want to hurt you or have our family disgraced

I guess I never did fit in but that's the way it goes

What's done is done I can't take it back now where everybody knows

But I don't see what I've done wrong by telling you the truth

I was always told never to lie and when I don't I get abused

The boys in town push me around

They pull my hair and knock me to the ground

But they will not destroy what's in my heart

'Cause you and me we were always meant to be this way

And I'm telling you to be true to who you are

You will see that there's a life beyond this pain so don't give up

Just stand up strong, sing our song

We can show the world they got it wrong

And shine like the stars we are

We will shine like the stars we are

We will shine like the stars we are

I wonder if they'll ever know what it feels like to be hated

To be looked at like an animal, but the closet's overrated

The world becomes a brighter place if you'll only see it through

Look up to the sky and fly away to somewhere new

'Cause you and me we were always meant to be this way

And I'm telling you to be true to who you are

You will see that there's a life beyond this pain so don't give up

Just stand up strong, sing our song,

We can show the world they got it wrong

And shine like the stars we are

We will shine like the stars we are

We will shine like the stars we are
