Solo Shining star comes into view, To shine its watchful light on you. Give you strength to carry, Make your body big and strong. Born a man-child of the sun, Saw work had just begun, Found I had to stand alone, Bless it now I've got my own So if you find yourself in need Listen to these words of heed Be a giant, or grain of sand Words of wisdom, yes I can You're a shining star No matter who you are, Shining bright to see, What you can truly be (repeat) Shining star for you to see What your life can truly be (repeat 3 times) E9 D9 C9 A7 G7 e--7---5---3---5---3--------| B--7---5---3---5---3- ------| G--7---5---3---6---4--------| D--6---4---2---5---3--------| A--7---5---3---7---5--------| E--------------5---3--------|
