Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My face to the sky

I dreaming about just how high

I could go, and if I know

When I finally get there

Taking off my glasses

Sun pokes through my lashes

Somehow I know

There's a time for every star to shine

[Verse 2]

Everybody got their something

Make you smile like an itty-bitty child

Everybody got their something

Everybody got their something

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 3]

People keeping score

Oh, so you better hurry up and get yours

'Cause somebody else

Got your spot

Before you even dropped

[Verse 4]

Seek and you shall find

Everything in my own sweet time

I'll take my chances

With what I believe is only mine

[Verse 5]

Busy holding on

So the roof don't fly

Keep you from moving on

So get it right

Turn the tide over

Like a love song

Like a butterfly

Believe me, if you hand it over

You'll come out all right

Yeah

[Verse 6]

Everybody got their something

Make you smile like an itty-bitty child

Everybody got their something

Everybody got their something

[Verse 7]

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Uh huh

[Verse 8]

Illuminate the silly things

Shed some light on all that's wrong

Everybody need it sometime

Sometimes the only thing you got is what makes

You feel like you're something else altogether

You have everything

Don't need another reason to be something

I've been on a ride

And caught up in the landslide

But I'm gonna spread my wings and fly

[Verse 9]

High, high, high, high, high, high, high

High, high, high, high, high, high, high

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, oh yeah)

[Verse 10]

Everybody got their something

Everybody got their something

Make you smile like an itty-bitty child

Everybody got their something

Everybody got their something

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 11]

Everybody got their something

Everybody got their something

Make you smile like an itty-bitty child

Everybody got their something

(Everybody got their something)

Everybody got their something

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 12]

There's a time for every star

There's a time for every star (Oh, oh)

There's a time for every star

There's a time for every star

There's a time for every star (Every star)

There's a time for every star

There's a time for every star

There's a time for every star...
