Lyrics

I have a photograph
in a special place
so much wisdom
with a child's face
but you feel stupid
and misunderstood
so unaware
of what makes you good

you've learned things
about this life
you don't know
stick around it'll show

I have watched you reap
all the doubt you've sewn
seen you scattered there
where you could have grown
you have hesitated
and have lost so much
when you could have reached out
when you could have touched

there are things
about this life
you don't know
stick around you will grow

Are you so afraid
that who you are
won't be good enough
never be a star
could it be that we
can't define our worth
and the way you shine
can't be seen from earth

there are things
about the stars
you don't know
stick around you will glow

there are things
about the stars
you don't know
stick around you will glow
